Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has revealed that his billionaire son is interested in buying Liverpool FC. The Premier League club is currently owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which has not indicated any plans to sell. In an interview with Times Radio, Errol Musk said, “Oh yes, but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it.
He would like to, yes, obviously, anybody would want to. So would I.”
However, an FSG spokesperson dismissed the rumors, stating, “There is no truth to these rumors.” In September 2023, FSG sold a minority stake to U.S. investment firm Dynasty Equity, but has shown no intention of selling a majority stake. FSG president Mike Gordon said, “Our long-term commitment to Liverpool remains as strong as ever.
We have always said that if there is an investment partner that is right for Liverpool, then we would pursue the opportunity to help ensure the club’s long-term financial resiliency and future growth.”
Under FSG’s ownership, Liverpool FC has regained its status as one of Europe’s top clubs. The team won its first English league title in 30 years in 2020, one season after winning the Champions League.
Musk explores Liverpool FC interest
Errol Musk also mentioned personal connections to Liverpool, hinting at family ties and even a historical connection with The Beatles. If Elon Musk were to acquire Liverpool FC, it could lead to significant changes at the club. As one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, Musk would have the financial resources to make major investments in the team.
However, any fundamental changes to the club’s traditions or operations would likely face scrutiny from loyal supporters. Liverpool fans have a deep-seated loyalty and have been vocal about their expectations from the owners. The speculation surrounding Musk’s potential ownership has generated a mix of excitement and apprehension among the fanbase.
While some fans are intrigued by the possibility of new investments and changes, others are concerned about the impact on the club’s legacy and traditions. As the rumors continue to circulate, the football world will be watching closely to see how these developments unfold and what impact they may have on one of the most storied clubs in the sport’s history.
