Will Elon Musk eventually buy Man United: Scary times for rival Fans

World renowned billionaire and CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk took the internet by storm the moment he tweeted he was buying Man United.

There were Twitter trends, hype and all, with United fans seeing a utopia where the Glazers were gone and fate had finally gotten rid of them for the Red Devils.

But hours later, Elon Musk revealed he was just messing with us. It was just the usual Musk joke to scare the internet.

Of course, if he was just the average folk going about their business and stuff, the narrative very much wouldn’t be built. Everyone would have chuckled at the humor and thumbed up Elon Musk for being a great comedian.

Everyone still things Aliko Dangote is funny, especially after cracking the joke that he was going after the purchase of Premier League club, Arsenal.

Of course, there was no social media then but a lot of people did have quite the laugh when they heard it. Dangote had the money, he is a billionaire and Africa’s richest man.

But there are some things that cannot be fathomable that when it’s heard, we all struggle to keep a straight face or take it serious.

But Elon Musk? He very much has the profile and the net worth to throw off a billion euros out of the blue just because he feels an itch and wants to scratch his back.

He did that when he took over Twitter. That one started as a joke that out of the blue became the reality.

Billionaires don’t say things just for the fun of it, and since he had jokingly thought of it, what says he cannot seriously start thinking of it. After all, every idea is born out of the most absurd thing you can think of.

For billionaires like Elon Musk, the idea to buying a football club such as a Premier League giant and getting into the sports business could come while having a drink and a laugh at the comedy that was Brentford vs. Manchester United over the weekend.

That game alone is enough to crack someone like Elon Musk into thinking of buying Manchester United just for the fun of it.

It all started with a laugh.
