The billionaire entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has reportedly shown interest in purchasing Premier League club Liverpool, according to his father, Errol Musk.
With an estimated net worth of $418 billion, Musk has recently become a key ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Reports indicated that Musk contributed approximately $270 million to the Republican Party, supporting Trump’s return to the White House.
Since Trump’s election win in November, the two have been spotted together at various events, including celebrations at Mar-a-Lago, UFC matches, and college football games.
Now, it seems Musk’s focus might be shifting to English football.

“His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we had relatives in Liverpool. We were fortunate to know quite a lot of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know,” he shared.
Musk has previously spoken about his grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, who was born in Mossley Hill, Liverpool, in 1923.
She lived through challenging times, growing up in poverty during the Great Depression, working hard to support her family, and eventually emigrating to South Africa in 1944.
Elon Musk once fondly remembered her, calling her “an important part” of his childhood and stating that she taught him strong values.
