One thing you have to give him some kind of credit for, mind, is that he uses his massive inherited wealth to get the crème de La crème of whatever field he gets himself involved in. Hence the likes of Tesla and SpaceX being workable.
Cocaine is helluva drug.
He absolutely is, but he would still be a massive improvement over the Glazers. Its all about PR with him, so he would absolutely throw money at the club to make sure he could be seen as the big saviour of the club. And he is still a much better option than the saudis.
Compared to the Glazers he uber cool.
Sending shit into space is older technology than CD-ROM.
In fairness, while extremely weird, and gifted with an enigmatic sense of humor… the man has the only uninterruptible communications system in the world in Starlink, and has revolutionized access to space with re-landable rocket systems.
Interesting that. Thanks for sharing.The guy gets a million messages a day to buy United, which is why he said that, he's joking we all know that. HOWEVER, I actively trade the stock market on a daily basis and here's what happened yesterday:
Man Utd get's 0 options activity because the stock never moves but yesterday lunch time it got 450k in volume on it's options:
This picture shows that someone with a lot of money thinks the stock price is going to at least $14, from the $12.63 it is now.
That's a 3500% increase in volume.
This all happened before Musk sent out that Tweet so the conclusion is that someone knows something is going on at United or Musk is manipulating the market to make some lunch money.
So he said it was a joke yet they’ve still asked the club to comment? Jesus Christ
desperation I'd guessHow did this get 11 pages?

People are so damn unhappy with current owners. This thread will thrive. It’s as easy as that.How did this get 11 pages?
They requested a comment before he confirmed that it was a joke. There was a 6/7 hr gap between tweets.So he said it was a joke yet they’ve still asked the club to comment? Jesus Christ
Well, the De Jong thread has 1600 and counting.How did this get 11 pages?
That's journalism for ya.So he said it was a joke yet they’ve still asked the club to comment? Jesus Christ
Yep should really be locked as it’s not constructive in the scheme of things. There are some good and potentially valuable discussions going on about changing our ownership in other threads which warrant more attention.
Because he grew up in South Africa. Afaik football is popular there but mostly for the colour people. For the rest it is cricket and rugby. Plus he was born in 1971. When he was 10-15 yo it's the 1981- 1986 I don't think we're that popular there especially there was no Internet and the PL was not internationally broadcasted back then. And it's not like we won a lot of things around that period either I think. We're talking about a time 40 years ago.
Ok I see. Thanks.
Buddy, he was completely and utterly trolling.
Anyway as expected this turned out to be a trolling attempt on his part but yeah we could certainly prove to be a decent pr machine for his company knowing the large exposure we receive.
The thing is with sports teams in America for the uber rich, it's a status symbol. They're are only a few NFL and NBA teams and they're already owned and won't be up for sale any time soon. It's also pretty clear that even if you spend a tonne of cash on a sports team today, you can sell them in 10 years time for most likely double what you paid, that's a great investment at any point.
Lighten up. In terms of reliability, Musk's tweet is the most reliable mention of a change in ownership, even as a joke. The discussions you are talking about are centered around tweets by Tier 10 sources. I could tell you a Nigerian prince is looking to buy Manchester United and the credibility would be about the same.
Gary Bailey says hi.
Gary Bailey was pretty popular in SA. United have long been but there, regardless of colour.
I think he waited 4/5 hours to confirm it was a jokeHow did this get 11 pages?
