'Fox & Friends' co-hosts weigh in on the debate over H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for specialty jobs, after Elon Musk and President-elect Trump expressed support for the program.
Elon Musk has already made his mark on the political landscape — now he may be turning his eyes to the sports world.
The tech billionaire and notorious Trump ally is reportedly interested in buying the English Premier League soccer club Liverpool. Liverpool, nicknamed "The Reds" is one of the flagship teams in English soccer, having won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record 10 League Cups and sixteen FA Community Shields.
In international competitions, Liverpool has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups — all English records — and one FIFA Club World Cup.
As of May 2024, Liverpool is valued at $5.37 billion, making it the fourth most valuable football team in the world, according to Forbes.
