Billionaire business mogul, Elon Musk has said that he was
only joking when he tweeted his intention to buy Premier League giants,
Manchester United.
Musk, who, while in the midst of a political ideology
discussion on Twitter, announced his intention to buy the struggling club, said
he was not ready to acquire any sports team now.
He had tweeted, “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur
welcome”.
Musk is worth around $260 billion, meaning that he could
easily afford buying the Old Trafford outfit. His tweet caused controversies on
Twitter leading to his clarification.
“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying
any sports teams,” he said.
He further explained that if he was to buy any club at all
it would be the Manchester outfit because, according to him, it was his
childhood favourite.
“Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were
my fav team as a kid,” the billionaire added.
Meanwhile, fans of the Red Devils are no longer comfortable
with the current club’s owners, the Glazer family and have been protesting,
asking them to go.
Manchester United are languishing at the bottom of the
Premier League table after two embarrassing defeats from their two opening
games.
