Although it's impossible to tell how serious Musk is when it comes to his tweets, Manchester United is buzzing...
Digital Desk: Following his failed Twitter deal, which has landed Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a court battle, Musk announced today that he is purchasing the English football club Manchester United.
"To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party," he tweeted. And shortly after this tweet, he said, "Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome."
Although it's impossible to tell how serious Musk is when it comes to his tweets, Manchester United is buzzing about the possibility of this news.
Manchester United fans have been asking for the departure of the club's current American owners, the Glazer family, due to the club's poor performance in recent years.
Musk's tweet, which was published not long ago, drew a huge response.
"Do you really think he's gunna buy? Or just talking rubbish." one user asked.
Another user made fun of Musk and pointed to the failed deal while making reference to the legal dispute the Tesla CEO was having over Twitter.
"You don't want it man, trust me This man singed a deal to buy Twitter for USD 44 billion without doing any due dilligence then realized it was a bad deal. Backed out, and is being sued," the user said.
Twitter and Elon Musk are engaged in a legal dispute over a rejected takeover proposal that Twitter now wants to get through.
The microblogging service and the world's richest man are now on trial after Musk attempted to back out of his contract to buy Twitter due to what he claims is a misrepresentation of bogus accounts on the platform.
Twitter is attempting to pressure Musk into carrying out the agreement while claiming that he sabotaged it since it no longer suited his interests.
