This comes as Musk tweeted earlier today regarding the purchase of the coveted football club.
“To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party,” he tweeted. And shortly after this tweet he said, “Also, I’m buying Manchester United Welcome.”
One may never know how serious Musk is when it comes to his tweets but the hint of the news got Manchester United fans buzzing.
When a user asked him if he was serious about his intention to buy the club, Musk replied, “No, that’s a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams.”
In another reply to the user, however, Musk said that if he had to buy a team, it would be Manchester United as it used to be his favorite team as a kid.
“However, if it were a team, it would be Man U. They were my favorite team as a kid,” he said.
Notably, these tweets come as ‘The Red Devils’, as the club is known among its fans, have made a terrific start to their Premier League 2022-23 campaign. They have lost their first two games and are currently ranked 20th and last in the points table.
They lost their first game 1–2 to Brighton & Hove Albion. United followed it up with an embarrassing 4–0 loss to Brentford. Manchester United will next face Liverpool on 22 August.
Manchester United fans are already demanding an exit from the current American bosses Glazer family due to the club’s poor performance in recent years. Their last Premier League trophy win was in the 2012–13 season. Since then, the club has failed to dominate the prestigious English football tournament as it used to.
Musk’s tweet, which was published not too long ago, has received an overwhelming response.
One Twitter user asked, “Do you really think he wants to buy? Or just bullshit.”
Referring to the Tesla CEO’s legal battle on Twitter, another user hit out at Musk and pointed to the deal that didn’t materialise.
The user said, “You don’t want it, trust me this guy just signed a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion without due diligence, then realized it was a bad deal. Backed off, And he is being prosecuted,” the user said.
Elon Musk is locked in a court battle with Twitter over a failed takeover bid that Twitter now intends to implement.
The microblogging website and the world’s richest man is now headed for lawsuit after Musk sought to drop his deal to acquire Twitter on what he says is a misrepresentation of fake accounts on the site.
Twitter is trying to force Musk to go ahead with the deal, while accusing him of sabotaging it because it no longer serves his interests.
