    Elon Musk "would like to" buy Liverpool Football Club, according to his father

    Errol Musk admitted his son - who is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $421.2 billion - is interested in acquiring the Premier League leaders, but he didn't want to say too much for fear of the price increasing.


    When asked if his son wants to buy Liverpool FC, Errol said on Times Radio: "I can't comment on that, they'll raise the price.

    "Oh yes, [he has expressed a desire], but that doesn't mean he's buying it."

    Quizzed on whether purchasing Liverpool is in his "son's sights", he said: "He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to - so would I."

    Elon has family ties to the city of Liverpool.

    Errol explained: "His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, and we were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family.

    "So, we are attached to Liverpool you know."

    Since 2010, Liverpool FC has been owned by the Fenway Sports Group, which sold a minority stake to Dynasty Equity - a global sports investment firm - in September 2023.

    Errol's comments come after the Tesla co-founder joked in 2022 that he was going to buy Manchester United.

    In a post on X, which was known as Twitter at the time before Elon acquired the site, he wrote: "I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome (sic)."

    While he later insisted it was a joke, Elon admitted if he was to fork out on a sports team then Manchester United would be at the top of his list.

    The SpaceX CEO added: "No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any sports teams

    "Although, if it were any team, it would be Man Utd. They were my fav team as a kid."
