Elon Musk, the world’s richest man with a net worth exceeding $400 billion, has expressed an interest in acquiring Liverpool Football Club, according to his father, Errol Musk.
Known for owning global giants like Tesla, SpaceX, and X, the 53-year-old billionaire appears eager to expand his ventures into the Premier League.
When questioned by Times Radio about the reports linking Musk to Liverpool, Errol Musk neither confirmed nor denied the speculation but acknowledged his son’s interest.
He revealed familial ties to the city, including a grandmother born in Liverpool and connections to The Beatles through family friends, further emphasizing the family’s attachment to the area.
Liverpool, currently owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), has flourished under their leadership since their 2010 acquisition for approximately £300 million.
The club has achieved significant success, including Premier League and Champions League triumphs, and is now valued at over $5 billion, according to Forbes.
In 2023, FSG sold a minority stake to Dynasty Equity while maintaining its long-term commitment to the club.
FSG President Mike Gordon reiterated their dedication to Liverpool’s financial stability and ambitions for continued success both on and off the field.
Musk’s interest in Liverpool adds to his dynamic public persona, which recently included controversial comments on UK politics and social media. Despite the speculation, there is no confirmation of any formal moves to acquire the historic football club.
Liverpool fans and football enthusiasts worldwide will undoubtedly watch closely to see if Musk takes his interest further and steps into the world of Premier League ownership.
