Elon Musk, father of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has confirmed that his son has expressed interest in buying Liverpool Football Club, though he stopped short of confirming any actual purchase plans.
In an interview, when asked about rumors connecting Elon Musk to the potential acquisition of the Premier League club, Errol initially deflected the question, saying, “I can’t comment on that. They’ll raise the price,” followed by a laugh. However, he later admitted, “Oh, yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to, yes, obviously. Anybody would want to – so would I!”
Errol Musk also noted the family’s personal connection to Liverpool, adding, “His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives there. We were fortunate to know quite a lot of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know.”
While Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the current owners of Liverpool FC, have not made an official statement regarding the matter, the acknowledgment of Elon Musk’s interest adds fuel to the ongoing speculation. However, no formal negotiations have been confirmed.
Elon Musk, currently the richest person in the world, is well known for owning major companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter). He is also a prominent figure within the incoming administration of US President-elect Donald Trump.
