Liverpool have made it clear they have no intention of selling the club to Elon Musk, despite recent comments from the billionaire’s father expressing interest in such a move.

Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has suggested that his son might be interested in purchasing Liverpool, although no formal contact has been made between the billionaire and the club. Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s owners, have shown no interest in selling, reaffirming their commitment to the team.

 

In a recent radio interview, Errol Musk was asked about Elon’s potential interest in Anfield. While he declined to comment directly, saying, “They’ll raise the price,” he did admit, “He would like to, yes, obviously. Anybody would want to—so would I.” Despite this, he clarified that interest does not equate to action.

 

Liverpool is currently valued at approximately £4.3 billion by Forbes, but their market value could be much higher if they were up for sale. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s net worth is estimated at around £343 billion. However, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) has yet to make any formal move toward acquiring the club.

 

Errol Musk noted a personal connection to Liverpool, explaining that Elon’s grandmother was born there and that the family had ties to the city and even connections with The Beatles. However, he also made other controversial claims during the interview, such as suggesting Tommy Robinson could become Prime Minister.

 

In February 2023, Liverpool’s principal owner, John W. Henry, dismissed the idea of selling the club, emphasizing FSG’s long-term commitment. While FSG sold a minority stake to Dynasty Equity that year, president Mike Gordon affirmed the group’s dedication to Liverpool’s future.

 

LeBron James, who bought a 2% stake in the club for £4.7 million in 2011, has since become a partner in FSG, with aspirations to launch an NBA franchise in L

as Vegas.
