The Tesla CEO and richest man in the world tweeted Tuesday that he is buying the Manchester United soccer team, before later announcing that he was just joking.
Elon Musk is at the centre of another acquisitions controversy after he tweeted that he was buying the English soccer team Manchester United before announcing several hours later that he was just joking.
The news comes amid a legal battle between the billionaire CEO and Twitter after Musk backed out of a US$44 billion deal to buy the popular social media platform. The world’s richest man has one of Twitter’s most followed accounts and is no stranger to getting into hot water for sharing his thoughts on the public forum.
Musk tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he supports centrist politicians in the Republican and Democratic parties and followed it up by declaring, “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”
The tweet came as a shock, but many Manchester United fans welcomed Musk’s interest in the team after a decade of mediocre results from the once top-performing English Premier League team.
Musk later clarified that his tweet was a joke after a follower asked if he was seriously going to buy Manchester United.
“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” Musk confirmed.
