Elon Musk is probably one of the few billionaires who love to be in the limelight for different reasons. For the longest time, he was creating headlines with his Twitter deal. But that went sideways. Musk also stirs the news cycle with his controversial opinion, personal life, and his tweets.
The Tesla CEO has once again tweeted something that has puzzled everyone. He has declared that he will be buying the Manchester United Football Club. This comes just weeks after his failed deal to buy Twitter. It also resulted in Twitter filing a lawsuit against Elon. But it looks like he is ready to take another big risk.
Elon Musk Plans To Buy Manchester United
The richest person on earth can’t seem to have enough. Despite a botched business deal with Twitter, Elon has plans to buy something much bigger this time.
On Tuesday 16 August, Elon tweeted that he is buying Manchester United FC without going into the details. He wrote: “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”

It is still unclear whether this deal will take place or not. Knowing that Elon has a history of making such tweets and claims, we will have to wait to see how it unfolds.
Manchester United is one of the world’s most widely supported football clubs. They have won 20 League titles, 12 FA Cups, five League Cups, and a record 21 FA Community Shields. Man Utd also took home the European Cup/UEFA Champions League thrice.
The club has the celebrity striker Cristiano Ronaldo and it is owned by the Glazer family. They had bought the club for $955.51 million in 2005.
Musk Responds To Video Showing Illegal Immigrants Entering US
The South African business tycoon is back in the news for his tweets again. Recently, he stated his anti-immigration stance by responding to a video tweet on Sunday, August 15.
In the video, we see hundreds of people trying to illegally cross the border of Eagle Pass, Texas. “Strange that this receives very little attention in the media“, Elon wrote for the video shared by Fox News journalist Bill Melugin.

In the tweet, Bill mentioned that Eagle Pass is a part of Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector. The area had seen around 400,000 illegal crossings since October last year.
Bill called it “Bigger than pop of New Orleans“. The video has since been widely shared and circulated across social media.
