"Not Buying Any Sports Teams", Clarifies Elon Musk After Manchester United Purchase Tweet

Tesla Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk clarified on Wednesday that he is not buying the Premier League football club Manchester United. This comes after Musk had tweeted earlier today regarding buying the iconic football club. "To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party," he tweeted. And shortly after this tweet, he said, "Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome."

When a user asked him if he was serious about his intentions to purchase the club, Musk replied, "No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any sports teams."

No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any sports teams.

In another reply to the user, however, Musk said that if he was to buy any team, It would have been Manchester United since it used to be his favorite team as a kid.

"Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid," he said.

Notably, these tweets come when 'The Red Devils', as the club is known among its fans, have made a terrible start to their Premier League 2022-23 campaign. They have lost their first two games and are currently sitting at the 20th and the last position on the points tally.

They lost their first game to Brighton and Hove Albion by 1-2. United followed it with a humiliating 4-0 loss to Brentford. Manchester United will lock horns
