Elon Musk says he is buying Manchester United
www.channelnewsasia.com
Manchester United is one of the world's best supported football clubs. They have been champions of England a record 20 times and have won the European Cup, the most prestigious club competition in the global game, three times.
Dissatisfaction among fans at the Glazers' perceived lack of ambition to bring in top players intensified after the club finished sixth in the English Premier League last season, while crosstown rivals Manchester City won a second successive title.
The football club had a market capitalisation of $2.08 billion, as of Tuesday's stock market close.
Manchester United fans have in recent years protested against the Glazers, who bought the club for 790 million pounds (US$955.51 million) in 2005, due to the team's struggles on the pitch.
The anti-Glazer movement gained momentum last year after United were involved in a failed attempt to form a breakaway European Super League.
Some fans have urged Musk to buy Manchester United instead of buying Twitter.
On Saturday, Manchester United suffered a humiliating defeat at Brentford, conceding all four goals of the match in the opening 35 minutes.
The week before United had lost their Premier League season opener by 1-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion, making this the first time since 1960 that the team has let in at least six goals in the first two matches of a top-flight season.
This is also the first time United has lost the opening two matches since 1992 when the team went on to win the title.
Musk has a history of unconventional actions and comments, making it difficult sometimes to tell when he is joking.
His ambitions range from colonising Mars to creating a new sustainable energy economy, and in the process he has built the most valuable car company in the world, electric vehicle maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX, and a slew of smaller firms. One is a tunnel maker called the Boring Company.
Musk has appeared to smoke marijuana in a podcast and fought US regulators over his comments about his plans for Tesla, including an abandoned effort to take it private.
Forbes estimates his fortune at US$270 billion.

Elon Musk says he was joking about buying Manchester United
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, tweeted on Aug 17 that he was joking when he said that he was going to buy English soccer club Manchester United Plc.
“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” Musk said, when asked by a user if he was serious about buying the club.
About four hours earlier, Musk had tweeted: “I’m buying Manchester United ur (sic) welcome,” without offering any details. Some Manchester United fans, disgruntled by their club’s declining fortunes of late, had previously urged Musk on Twitter to consider buying the club.
The tweet turnaround comes as Musk seeks to exit a US$44bil agreement to buy Twitter only four months after announcing on the platform he would buy the social media company, which has taken him to court.
Musk has a history of being unconventional and posting irreverent tweets, making it difficult sometimes to tell when he is joking.
“Next I'm buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,” he tweeted on April 27, two days after Twitter's board accepted his unsolicited offer to buy the company.
Musk’s tweets about potential acquisitions have landed him in hot water with US regulators in the past.
In 2018, he tweeted that there was “funding secured” for a US$72bil deal to take Tesla private, but did not move ahead with an offer. Musk and Tesla each paid US$20mil civil fines – and Musk stepped down as Tesla's chairman – to resolve US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claims that Musk defrauded investors.
The SEC did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk's tweet that he was buying the club outside usual business hours.
Musk’s ambitions range from colonising Mars to creating a new sustainable energy economy, and in the process he has built the most valuable car company in the world, electric vehicle maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX, and a slew of smaller firms. One is a tunnel maker called the Boring Company.
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.
The northern England-based team has more than 32 million followers on its main Twitter account and Musk’s first tweet about the club had garnered nearly 400,000 ‘likes’ on the platform within four hours. – Reuters
No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams.
