Elon Musk is interested in buying Liverpool, according to the billionaire’s father
Errol Musk, the father of billionaire Elon Musk, has hinted that his son could be interested in taking over Liverpool Football Club.
Speaking to Times Radio, Musk Sr revealed the family’s connection to the city and shared insights into the tech genius’ potential interest in the Premier League leaders.
Musk Sr. explained the family’s historical ties to Liverpool, as Elon’s paternal grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was born there before moving to South Africa.
“He would like to buy Liverpool, yes, of course,” said Musk Sr. “Everyone would want that – me too!”
“His grandmother was born in Liverpool and we have relatives in Liverpool. We were lucky enough to know a lot of the Beatles, as part of my family grew up with them.
“So we’re attached to Liverpool, you know…”

This isn’t the first time Musk’s name has been linked to owning a football club. In 2022, the Tesla and SpaceX founder caused a stir on social media when he tweeted that he would buy Manchester United.
“I buy Manchester United a warm welcome,” Musk posted, sparking excitement among fans.
The tweet quickly racked up tens of thousands of retweets and over 200,000 likes. However, he later clarified that it was a joke, replying to a comment on the original post with: “No, this is a long-standing joke on Twitter. “I don’t buy sports teams. However, if it were a team it would be Man Utd. They were my favorite team as a child.
“And I’m not buying Coca-Cola just to use cocaine again, despite the extreme popularity of such a move.”
While Errol Musk’s comments have reignited speculation about Elon Musk’s entry into the world of football ownership, the billionaire has not confirmed any plans to buy Liverpool.
Fans will no doubt be watching closely to see whether the Tesla CEO makes any serious moves to expand his empire into the Premier League.
