Elon Musk would ‘love’ to buy Liverpool, his father has claimed.
The world’s richest man who owns Tesla, SpaceX and the platform formerly known as Twitter (now x) has recently been active on UK politics.
But, it may come as a surprise that he has an interest in the Premier League leaders, Liverpool.
Speaking to Kait Borsay on Times Radio, Errol Musk revealed his son has ‘expressed a desire’ to purchase the club.
“Does your son want to buy Liverpool football club?” Borsay asked.
“I can’t comment on that, they’ll raise the price. I can’t comment on that,” Errol humourously responded.
The interviewer enquired: “Has he expressed a desire to buy Liverpool football club?”
“Oh yes, oh yes – but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it, you know,” Errol said.
“He would like to, yes. Obviously. Anyone would want to. So would I.”

Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows that Musk has a worth of $439 billion compared to Liverpool’s current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) with $13bn.
Errol went on to explain that the Musk family have ties to the city which explains Musk’s potential interest.
“My mother – (Elon’s) grandmother – was born in Liverpool and we have relatives in Liverpool.
“We were fortunate to know quite a few of The Beatles, because they grew up with us, my family, and so we’re really attached to Liverpool.”
