Liverpool fans have mixed feelings about this. Some think Musk’s involvement could bring new opportunities and money to the club. Others worry that his focus on tech and innovation might not fit a football club’s needs and values.
NEW DELHI: Elon Musk, one of the most influential and wealthiest people in the world, has sparked curiosity once again, but this time it’s 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 Elon’s admiration for the club, adding an intriguing twist to the football world.
Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, shared that his son would love to own the famous Premier League team. He said, “Anybody would want to buy Liverpool—so would I.”
There’s more to this connection. Elon Musk’s 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, “We were lucky to know quite a few of The Beatles because they grew up with us—my family.” This connection adds a personal touch to the story and has made people curious about Musk’s interest in the club.

But the club’s 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, “No truth to these rumours,” 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 Musk’s interest has caught attention, there’s no sign of a formal offer yet. Musk, known for bold ideas and big projects, could make such a move given his immense wealth. He’s the richest man globally, so buying Liverpool wouldn’t be a financial stretch. However, right now, it’s talk and no action.

Liverpool fans have mixed feelings about this. Some think Musk’s involvement could bring new opportunities and money to the club. Others worry that his focus on tech and innovation might not fit a football club’s needs and values. People are asking whether Musk’s style would match Liverpool’s traditions.
For now, this remains just a rumour. FSG’s 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, it’s 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, Liverpool’s future remains firmly in FSG’s hands.
