Now one of the people reportedly enticed to buy Liverpool is South Africa-born, American-based billionaire Elon Musk!
According to his father, speaking on iHeart Radio, Musk has considered buying Liverpool because there is a family connection.
“I can’t comment on that, they’ll raise the price! Oh yes, [he (Musk) has expressed a desire], but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to – so would I. His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, and we were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool you know,” said Errol Mush the father of Elon.
