"That doesn't mean you're going to live."

If you are a Liverpool fan of the English Premier League, you may have been briefly looking forward to it. This is because some British media reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is considered the world's richest man, is trying to acquire Liverpool. In response, some Korean media also reported 'Musk Liverpool theory'.

However, this is likely to be only one happening. Broadly interpreted, it's just a dimension of 'expression of interest', but it doesn't actually mean taking over. Musk has no intention of buying a sports team. It is one of Musk's iron rules that has been around for many years. I have expressed this thought publicly.




British media TBR Football reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'While Tesla CEO Musk is being discussed as a potential buyer of Liverpool, his remarks regarding the acquisition of Manchester United in the past are drawing attention' This suggests that Musk's recent acquisition of Liverpool is not reliable based on past cases.

Musk, who is considered to have a net worth of 339.3 billion pounds (about 617.78 trillion won) based on Forbes in the U.S., is not that difficult to acquire Liverpool if he decides to. Liverpool is currently owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG). It is an American sports investment company. It owns the Boston Red Sox (MLB), Liverpool, and Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL).

In fact, Musk showed interest in acquiring Liverpool. This is what his father said himself.




TBR Football reported Musk's father Errol Musk's interview with The Times. Asked if his Tesla Inc TSLA CEO son wants to buy Liverpool, Errol Musk laughed "I can't talk about that. They (FSG) will raise the price"I expressed my intention, but that doesn't mean I'm really trying to think about it."

Musk's interest is a little bit more than normal. It has to do with the family's history. Born in South Africa, Musk's grandmother is from Liverpool. Errol also has relatives living in Liverpool. Some of my relatives have grown up with the Beatles and know each other", and introduced the relationship between the Musk family and Liverpool. Elon Musk also showed more interest in Liverpool because of this.

However, it is very unlikely that Musk will actually buy Liverpool. There has been happening in the past. TBR Football introduced the acquisition of Musk Manchester United three years ago.

Musk made a surprise announcement in August 2022 that he would buy Manchester United via Twitter (X telegraph). He said 'Yes, I live in Manchester United. Thank you very much,' he wrote. When the tweet came out, Manchester United's stock price soared on the New York Stock Exchange.

But as the situation grew, Musk immediately tweeted 'No. This is just an old joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any of the sports teams. Earlier, the tweet about taking over Manchester United was very much a joke, and the explanation that followed was a serious tone.

Musk owns state-of-the-art companies such as aerospace company 'SpaceX' and electric vehicle company 'Tesla' and SNS platform 'X (formerly Twitter)'. But sports teams don't buy. be inconsistent with his tone. The acquisition of Liverpool is just an expression of interest. Considering Musk's business moves so far, there is a 99% chance that he will not buy it.
