The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, says his son would like to own Liverpool FC. The Reds were added to Fenway Sports Group’s athletic portfolio in 2010, and while they have previously sought outside investment, a complete sale has never been given any serious thought. Errol Musk, meanwhile, was questioned on if his son has his sights set on Anfield.
“I’m not allowed to comment on it. “The price will be increased,” he said on Times Radio. In response to a question about whether his son might want to own Liverpool, Musk said, “Oh, yes.” But that doesn’t imply that he believes it. Obviously, he would like to. Everyone would like to, including me. Liverpool was valued at an estimated £4.3 billion, making it the fourth most expensive football team according to Forbes’ May ranking. But that only represents slightly more than 1% of Musk’s estimated £343 billion total net worth.
Liverpool owners issue ‘response’ to Elon Musk
The ownership of Liverpool has ‘no desire’ to speak with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk, according to The Times. Insiders say the club is not taking [the radio interview] very seriously. Since October 2010, the highly unpopular team of George Gillett and Tom Hicks has passed ownership of Liverpool to the Fenway Sports Group.
John W. Henry, the major owner of Liverpool and FSG, claimed in a 2022 statement to The Athletic that they would “consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of the club” but that they were not interested in selling the team altogether. Furthermore, it was confirmed in September 2023 that Dynasty Equity, an American sports investment firm, had made an investment to purchase a minority stake in Liverpool that ranged from 1.9% to 3.8%.
