Elon Musk who's known to post provocative statements on Twitter, hasn't yet triggered a comeback from the Club's current owners
Washington, United States: Elon Musk tweeted Tuesday evening that he is purchasing the Manchester United football club, although it was not clear if the eccentric billionaire, currently embroiled in a lawsuit over his bid to buy Twitter, was being serious.
The 51-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who has a habit of posting provocative statements on social media for fun, said: "Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome," in a reply to an earlier tweet about supporting both of America's two major political parties.
Manchester United, a storied English football club, is currently led by the six children of late American businessman Malcolm Glazer, who took a controlling stake in the franchise in 2005.
