NEW DELHI: Elon Musk, one of the most influential and wealthiest people in the world, has sparked curiosity once again, but this time itโs not about electric cars or space travel. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is rumoured to be interested in buying Liverpool Football Club, one of the most historic teams in the Premier League. The speculation began when his father, Errol Musk, hinted at Elonโs admiration for the club, adding an intriguing twist to the football world.
Elon Muskโs father, Errol Musk, shared that his son would love to own the famous Premier League team. He said, โAnybody would want to buy Liverpoolโso would I.โ
Thereโs more to this connection. Elon Muskโs grandmother was born in Liverpool, which ties his family to the city. Errol also mentioned that their family had links with The Beatles, who came from Liverpool. He said, โWe were lucky to know quite a few of The Beatles because they grew up with usโmy family.โ This connection adds a personal touch to the story and has made people curious about Muskโs interest in the club.

But the clubโs current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have quickly shut down the rumours. FSG has made it clear that Liverpool is not for sale. A spokesperson said, โNo truth to these rumours,โ showing their strong commitment to keeping the club. FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 and has worked hard to make it one of the top clubs in the world. Under their ownership, Liverpool has won major trophies like the Champions League and the Premier League. FSG has also sold small stakes in the club to investors, including NBA star LeBron James and Dynasty Equity.
Even though Elon Muskโs interest has caught attention, thereโs no sign of a formal offer yet. Musk, known for bold ideas and big projects, could make such a move given his immense wealth. Heโs the richest man globally, so buying Liverpool wouldnโt be a financial stretch. However, right now, itโs talk and no action.

Liverpool fans have mixed feelings about this. Some think Muskโs involvement could bring new opportunities and money to the club. Others worry that his focus on tech and innovation might not fit a football clubโs needs and values. People are asking whether Muskโs style would match Liverpoolโs traditions.
For now, this remains just a rumour. FSGโs clear response shows they are not planning to sell, at least not anytime soon. While the idea of Elon Musk owning Liverpool is exciting for many, itโs still far from reality. Fans and the football world will have to wait to see if anything comes of it, or if this is just another story that fades away. Until then, Liverpoolโs future remains firmly in FSGโs hands.
