Elon Musk says he's buying United. Probably joking, but would be amusing. On one hand would be a good fit though: United and Tesla cars both have a lot of quality control problems. Joking aside, he'd probably be no worse than the Glazers, but he wouldn't just inject money into the club. That's not his way. He might try and get other people to inject money into the club though, that is his way.
He will probably try and back out of the deal half way through claiming half their fans are plastics.
This ^^ He made it clear he was joking, but it became click bait as it would, even SKY News used it as click bait. Anyway he's got no money left, he's now the Gerald Ratner of Twitter, if you don't know who that is look it up.
I thought Man Utd were already the Ratners of the Prem Rather said I sell cheap jewellery but its cheap because its crap Man Utd buy the most expensive players in the world but dont win because they are crap
I'd love to know what the hell Musk was thinking when he put into buy twitter, for me that was a Ratner moment, I often just wonder if they got lucky in their business investments, because there certainly didn't seem to be any intelligence behind the man when it came to twitter. Straight away to even show an inclining of support to Trump, means you will lose 50% of your business, because the left will just say fook you and go create another platform. It would have been ok for entertainment value, but I don't suppose Musk would appreciate giving up his fortune just to be laughed at.
Musk was and is intelligent in the specific field he has found profound success in. But, now he is involving himself and commenting on many things outside of that field and seems like an idiot. Musk also smokes plenty of weed and is already confirmed as bipolar. I haven't got no issue with weed or the people who smoke it, but as @The Arnhem Bridge said to Aber one time, some people can't handle it and it hits their ****ing noggin. I'd consider Musk one of them
BBC had it as a ****ing headline. The Man U loving ****s. When did a Twitter joke by some self obsessed **** become news? Hope Liverpool beat them now
Article I read this am said "it's not clear of he was joking or being serious"... So clearly some journalists didn't want to give the full story because it's less interesting.
Minority share at least (although, that might make someone want to buy outright). We're running out of middle eastern oil countries to buy clubs now aren't we? Who's left Iran? Who else can afford them besides Oil nations?
