The world’s richest man, who owns companies including Tesla, SpaceX and the social media platform X, has been linked with buying a football team in the past.
And now his interest is making headlines again – thanks to his own dad.
Speaking to Kait Borsay on Times Radio (via talkSPORT), Errol Musk revealed his son has ‘expressed a desire’ in the Premier League leaders.
“Does your son want to buy Liverpool football club?” Borsay asked.
“I can’t comment on that, they’ll raise the price. I can’t comment on that,” Errol jokingly responded.
Borsay, a Liverpool fan herself, then pressed him further on the issue, as it ‘means a lot’ to her and other supporters.
She enquired: “Has he expressed a desire to buy Liverpool football club?”
“Oh yes, oh yes – but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it, you know,” Errol said.

“He would like to, yes. Obviously. Anyone would want to. So would I.”
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk has a worth $439 billion.
That is enough money to blow Liverpool’s current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), out of the water.
Their empire, founded by John W Henry, is said to be worth just shy of $13bn, making Musk roughly 32 times richer.
There has been no indication that FSG is open to selling Liverpool, and last summer Henry noted that their commitment to the club was ‘stronger than ever’.
