Elon Musk’s Ambitious Plan: £6 Billion Bid for Liverpool FC?
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is reportedly planning to buy Liverpool FC, according to British newspaper Weekend Sport (Sunday Sport Friday Edition).
The South African-born billionaire, known for his companies X, Tesla, and SpaceX, recently gained attention for supporting Donald Trump in the November election. This endorsement earned him a role in the incoming government as head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency.
Shockingly, in the 'Weekend Sport' front-cover of their newspaper, there’s an exclusive claiming that Elon Musk is planning to buy Liverpool FC.

As part of his strategy to expand influence in the UK, Musk is allegedly considering purchasing a football club. Liverpool FC is seen as a prime opportunity for Musk to further his political aspirations while entering the world of European football.
Although the credibility of these claims remains uncertain, the reports could indicate that Liverpool’s current owner, John W. Henry, might be open to selling the club, raising questions about FSG’s long-term plans at Anfield.
The news has triggered mixed reactions on X. Some fans have voiced dissatisfaction, pointing to the club’s strong socialist values, while others view it as an opportunity for fresh investment and a potential departure of FSG.
