AKARTA – Elon Musk, the world’s richest man with a wealth of around 340 billion pounds (IDR 6.879 trillion), is reportedly interested in buying a British Liverpool football club. The information was revealed by his father, Errol Musk, in an interview with Times Radio.
Errol said Elon had a desire to buy Liverpool, but was concerned that the current owner, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), would raise prices if he knew of the interest.
