Elon Musk's father confirms billionaire tycoon would like to buy Liverpool

Elon Musk's father, Errol, confirmed his son's interest in buying Liverpool FC, citing the Musk family's historical ties to the city.

Musk, the world’s richest individual with a net worth of £330bn, has connections to Liverpool through his grandmother and relatives, as well as friendships with members of The Beatles. In a recent interview, Errol Musk stated that while Elon would like to buy the club, he isn’t necessarily in the process of doing so.

Liverpool, currently under American ownership via Fenway Sports Group (FSG), has seen substantial growth since FSG took over in 2010. While FSG has sought outside investment since late 2022, a full sale could value Liverpool at £5-6bn, a small fraction of Musk's wealth.
