Liverpool, Premier League Leader, May Have a New Owner Soon. Billionaire Elon Musk Wants to Buy a Soccer Team. Understand the Reasons and Benefits This Will Bring to the Mogul.
After Twitter, now transformed into X, and other whims that only the super-rich can afford, Elon Musk wants to buy a Premier League soccer team. Last Tuesday (7), Errol Musk, Elon’s father, revealed that the world’s richest man is interested in buying Liverpool, one of the most traditional English clubs and current leader of the Premier League.
Company That Owns Liverpool Claims Team Is Not for Sale
In an interview on a radio program, it was stated that Elon Musk wants to buy a soccer team, specifically, Liverpool. However, this does not mean he will succeed. Obviously, Musk would like to buy the Premier League team. Anyone would. However, the father of the Tesla CEO joked that he could not comment on the matter because the price could increase, considering that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.
On the other hand, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which has owned Liverpool since 2010, stated that the Premier League club is not for sale. Interestingly, in 2022, Elon Musk joked about buying Liverpool’s greatest rival after Manchester United suffered a 4-0 defeat to Brentford. As if he were the narrator of the song “Money” by Pink Floyd, Elon Musk stated: “I will buy Manchester United. You’re welcome” in a post on the old Twitter.

However, now, the reason Elon Musk wants to buy a soccer team is quite obvious. Elon Musk’s grandmother was born in Liverpool and the billionaire still has relatives in the city.
Benefits of Buying a Soccer Team for Musk
According to Errol, the family had the fortune of knowing some of the Beatles because they grew up with the Musks. Therefore, the family is so connected to the city, justifying why Elon Musk wants to buy a Premier League soccer team.
Probably, Elon Musk’s relatives interacted with John Lennon and George Harrison, who studied near the Musk family home in Liverpool. In fact, the house where Errol Musk’s mother lived is also a few kilometers from Penny Lane, which was immortalized by Paul McCartney’s composition.
Elon Musk spoke about his closeness to his grandmother in a post on X last Wednesday (7). The post highlights his English origins to criticize the current politics of the United Kingdom. Musk explores the controversy of grooming gangs, criticizing that his grandmother would be a victim of these gangs if she were alive today.
In addition to criticizing the government, Elon Musk’s association with far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is ironically Stephen Lennon, is seen as a way to gain influence in the UK. Similarly, buying a Premier League team offers the same benefit, as the interviewer pointed out to Elon Musk’s father, stating that “buying Liverpool generates much greater influence.”
FSG Faces £9 Million Loss
Elon Musk wants to buy a soccer team, and money would not be a problem for the businessman. According to Forbes magazine, Elon Musk started 2025 as the richest man in the world. Just last month, Musk added $91 billion to his wealth, which now stands at a total of $421.2 billion.
The Fenway Sports Group, the group that owns Liverpool, has been criticized for the club’s financial management, but they do not intend to sell the team, at least for now. In 2024, a loss of £9 million was recorded, equivalent to R$ 68.3 million at the current exchange rate.
