Elon Musk, a billionaire businessman, has said that when he tweeted his intention to purchase Manchester United of the Premier League, he was merely making light of the situation.
Musk, who stated his plan to purchase the struggling club while participating in a Twitter debate on political ideologies, claimed he was not yet ready to buy any sports teams.
Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome, he had tweeted.
Musk estimated his net wealth at around $260 billion, making the Old Trafford team an easy purchase for him. His comment sparked debate on Twitter, which prompted him to clarify.
No, this is a running Twitter joke. I don’t purchase any sports franchises.
He continued by saying that if he were to buy any club at all, it would be the Manchester team because, in his words, it was his favourite as a kid.
The billionaire continued,
However, Manchester United would be the team if it were any. As a child, they were my favourite team.
Red Devils supporters have been protesting and calling for the Glazer family, the current club owners, to leave since they are no longer at ease with them.
After suffering two humiliating losses in their first two games, Manchester United is currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League standings.
