Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has been making headlines once again for his reported interest in purchasing a top English football club, Liverpool FC. However, the current owner of the club, John W. Henry, has stated that he has no intentions of selling the team.
Rumors of Musk’s interest in buying Liverpool first surfaced when he responded to a tweet asking him to buy the club. Musk replied with a simple “Yea.” This sparked speculation among fans and the media that he may be considering making a bid for the club.
Liverpool FC is one of the most successful and popular football clubs in the world, with a rich history and a passionate fan base. The club has won numerous domestic and international trophies, including the Premier League, the Champions League, and the Club World Cup.
However, John W. Henry, the owner of Liverpool FC since 2010, has made it clear that he has no plans to sell the club. Henry, who is also the owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, has been a key figure in Liverpool’s recent success, overseeing the club’s return to the top of English and European football.
In a statement, Henry said, “Fenway Sports Group has been clear and consistent: the club is not for sale. But every time a bid like this comes in, it’s a distraction. It’s a distraction for everyone at the club, the players, the staff, the fans. It’s time to put this speculation to rest once and for all.”
While Musk’s interest in purchasing Liverpool may have generated excitement among fans, it appears that the club will remain under the ownership of John W. Henry for the foreseeable future. Musk, known for his ambitious and innovative ventures, may have to look elsewhere if he is truly interested in adding a football club to his portfolio.
In the world of football, where billionaire owners are becoming increasingly common, the idea of Elon Musk owning a club like Liverpool may seem like a dream for some fans. However, for now, it looks like Musk will have to stick to his other ventures and leave the football ownership to someone else.
