Elon Musk jokes about buying Manchester United. Previously, the man born in South Africa had also joked that he wanted to buy the leading beverage company Coca Cola.
As reported, Elon Musk tweeted that he bought Manchester United. With the financial strength it has, it is not impossible for Musk to buy a sports club like MU. Moreover, many Red Devils fans want MU ownership to change hands from the Glazer family, which is considered to have made the club owe a lot of debt.
But apparently, the intention was just a joke, aka Musk, had created a False Hope Giver (PHP) for MU fans. "No, this is an old joke on Twitter. I didn't buy any sports team," Musk said in response to netizens' questions regarding his seriousness to buy MU, Wednesday (17/8/2022).
Although he did not buy the club based at Old Trafford, Elon Musk revealed that Manchester United was his favorite team since childhood.
Previously, Elon Musk also almost mastered the social media platform Twitter. However, apparently recently he canceled the purchase transaction.
Then last April, Elon Musk also caused a stir because of his post about buying Coca Cola. "Next, I bought Coca Cola to put the cocaine back in it," Elon said in a tweet, Thursday (28/4/2022).
Coca in English is slang for cocaine. Of course this is a joke. But still, the reaction of the world's netizens was immediately excited.
Netizens replied to his tweets even more wildly. They expect Elon Musk to buy TikTok, Amazon or McDonalds. There are even netizens who ask Elo to buy other countries and pay off their foreign debts.
