Businessman Errol Musk claimed that his son, billionaire Elon Musk, is interested in buying Liverpool FC, though there is no indication that Fenway Sports Group are looking to sell or that Musk has put in an offer. "No truth to these rumors," a spokesperson for FSG told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

As part of his family wind-up tour of modern civilisation, Elon Musk’s father, Errol, was on ITV on Wednesday morning pitching his son’s latest manifesto for fixing humanity.

Elon Musk’s father says his billionaire son has expressed interest in buying English soccer club Liverpool. The Premier League club is privately owned by Fenway Sports Group, which has not indicated it wants to sell but has accepted external investment in the past.
