Tesla billionaire Elon Musk wants to buy Liverpool FC, his father has sensationally claimed.

And he joked that he doesn't want to disclose too many details of the interest in case FSG raises the asking price.

Musk, the world's richest man with a net worth of around $425bn, is currently helping Donald Trump prepare for a second stint in the White House, alongside running X (formerly known as Twitter), Tesla and SpaceX.

"Does your son want to buy Liverpool Football Club?" Musk was asked on Times Radio.

"Oh yes, [he has expressed a desire], but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it."

Errol was then quizzed further on whether buying the club was "in his son’s sights".

Anybody would want to — so would I!
