Is Elon Musk really buying Manchester United?

Al Jazeera  

Musk tweeted he was buying one of the world’s most famous football clubs but offered no details. Musk, the world’s richest person, said early on Wednesday that he hadn’t been serious when he tweeted hours previously that he was going to buy Manchester United Plc, now languishing at the foot of the English Premier League as fed-up fans urge current owners, the American Glazer family to sell up. I’m not buying any sports teams,” Musk posted when asked by a user if he was serious about buying the club when he had posted, “I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.” “Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U,” he added, rubbing salt into the wound for some: “They were my fav team as a kid.” Some Manchester United fans had previously urged Musk on Twitter to consider buying the club, complaining at what they see as under investment at one of the world’s biggest football clubs. After Musk said he was joking, the Manchester United Fanatics Club Hungary said, “It’s just a tweet from somebody who not always thinking twice before write something.” The Manchester United Fans Club Kolkata said: “It again reinstated the fact that Elon and his tweets are just gimmicks. “I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome,” Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday without offering any details.
