Elon Musk excited soccer fans yesterday when he tweeted that he was interested in purchasing the English club Manchester United.
“To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party! Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome,” he tweeted.
Unfortunately for some fans of the U.K.-based soccer club, the tweet was part of a long-running joke, the Tesla CEO said.
“I’m not buying any sports teams,” Mr. Musk posted when asked if he was serious, though he added that United was his favorite team as a boy.
