Elon Musk says he was joking when he tweeted that he was going to buy Manchester United.
“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” Musk posted when asked by a user if he was serious about buying the club. “Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U,” he added, “they were my fav team as a kid.”
Musk has a history of being unconventional and posting irreverent tweets, making it difficult sometimes to tell when he is joking. Musk’s tweets about potential acquisitions have landed him in hot water with U.S. regulators in the past. Manchester United is one of the most famous names in world soccer but is currently in crisis on the field amid angry calls from fans for the club’s current owners, the American Glazer family, to pull out.
In its annual rankings this year, Forbes rated Manchester United, with its huge global fanbase, the third most valuable soccer club in the world, worth $4.6 billion, behind only Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
