American billionaire Elon Musk decided to buy a football club. And not any, but Manchester United. He himself announced this on his page in the social network.
“I want to be honest with you – I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party. I also buy Manchester United. Welcome,” wrote the American businessman.
This message literally blew up social networks. Football fans were shocked. Manchester United is now owned by the Glazer family from the United States, and English fans don’t like the owners. And suddenly such a turn.

But a little later, Elon Musk called his message a joke. He says that he does not intend to buy any sports teams.
Recall that in the spring, Musk announced the purchase of the social network Twitter for $44 billion. However, in July he refused the deal, saying that it was impossible to check the share of fake accounts in this social network. Now Twitter is suing the businessman and demanding a penalty.
Recall that for the past 17 years, Manchester United has been owned by the Glazer family, American billionaires. Last year there were rumors that they were ready to sell the club if they received an offer in the region of 5 billion euros.
