Musk’s playing ‘footsie’

Elon Musk could be seeking to purchase a top soccer club after his much-anticipated deal with Twitter has fizzled.

The world’s richest man proclaimed in a tweet Tuesday he is buying England’s Manchester United, though it’s unclear if the eccentric billionaire was serious or only offering more bizarre bluster.

“Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome,” the Tesla CEO tweeted.

The random post comes after he also randomly tweeted “To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!”

Manchester United is one of the best-known brands in the sporting world with a record 20 league titles in England and has also won the European Cup three times.

The Premier League club is owned by the Glazer family, which bought the team for $955.51 million in 2005 but has faced fans’ ire for the team’s recent lack of success on the field.

Musk did not return a message seeking comment.

The soccer club was valued at $4.6 billion as of May, according to Forbes.
