I reckon his dad and Giggsy would get along just fine.He's got some proper questionable business practices in the US and ideas about how workers should work.
His family's money is also not clean but I agree he's not as BAD as the Saudis.

he's an idiotI don’t see that in this thread.
Pretty sure his family money came from blood diamonds.I don't think there is anybody on Earth in a position to buy this club that you wouldn't be able to dig out a bucketful of stories written by people with axes to grind.
I'll settle for someone who doesn't oppress, rape and murder.
I wasn't going to mention that because it was his dad, not him but yeah....I reckon his dad and Giggsy would get along just fine.
You wonder about his actual wealth though. Was surprised how much he had to struggle to buy Twitter. Asset rich but poor liquidity?Does anyone know if he's rich?
Well he did sell 5.2bn worth of Tesla stock last week.You wonder about his actual wealth though. Was surprised how much he had to struggle to buy Twitter. Asset rich but poor liquidity?
Exactly. Astonishing how much our woe is making the world look at us.We may be a finished club but no other club gets this much attention after two losses at the start of the season
Dumb as a box of rocks.he's an idiot
But if you think about it -- would Elon even noticed whether Chelsea or City had lost 3 games in a row?Just when you wonder how we could become even more of a fecking soap opera To be fair though I’ve now seen Elon musk say more publicly about Manchester United than any of the glazer family.
I would not worry about his actual wealth. Other things to worry about with him, but not that.You wonder about his actual wealth though. Was surprised how much he had to struggle to buy Twitter. Asset rich but poor liquidity?
I doubt he even knows now. He gets thousands of lunatics tweeting him BUY MAN UNITED every day - he’s done this for attention. No coincidence it’s done with a tweet of his showing how “moderate” he is politically.But if you think about it -- would Elon even noticed whether Chelsea or City had lost 3 games in a row?
He's not dumb -- cunning yes. Not many people have had multiple hits with start-ups. Gates had one basically, Marc Andressen had one.Dumb as a box of rocks.
Where his family money came from is on his dad too surely?Pretty sure his family money came from blood diamonds.
He pressed people to go back to the factory during Corona, endangering their lives and those of their loved ones.
These are just some examples, just so people are clear we are not dealing with a grey character but very much with a arsehole on the arsehole scale.

He could buy Manchester united 10 times and wouldn't notice it that much.You wonder about his actual wealth though. Was surprised how much he had to struggle to buy Twitter. Asset rich but poor liquidity?
Politically he is a nutjob -- an attention whore.I doubt he even knows now. He gets thousands of lunatics tweeting him BUY MAN UNITED every day - he’s done this for attention. No coincidence it’s done with a tweet of his showing how “moderate” he is politically.
If you like your soap operas then having Musk own United will mentally break a few caftards.I'd welcome it with open arms. Please rid us of the Glazers.
Its a shame he doesn't do that more often with his women.Thankfully there is no recent example of him saying he'll buy something and pulling out before it actually happens.
So what does that make him an amazing innovator when young? Lucky? Successful? And of course many will hate him?He's not dumb -- cunning yes. Not many people have had multiple hits with start-ups. Gates had one basically, Marc Andressen had one.
This box of rocks has had multiple. Granted, he isn't the CTO or the inventor of the technology -- he normally comes in when the technologist is struggling and then he pumps in the money or strategic dirction and helps it take off. Like in stage 1 1/2 of the product lifecycle.
Thats no different to what Apple does and that's why investors love Apple -- they are almost never the inventors of the product segment. But like the 3rd or 4th or 5th enterant. From phones to iPods. They just always marketed themselves as the innovators or pour in so much money in ranging that you associate te product with the company. But I cannot think of one product that they invented.
Musk is like that.
Why is it a joke? What other club gets this much attention? Would he care if it was Arsenal?I think we are becoming biggest joke in this world.
Just thinking the same He absolutely would love the attention of owning Manchester United mind.Imagine if he meant it as a joke but then decides to go through with it to avoid another bollocking from the SEC.
There may be another possibility. Maybe in his billionaire/private equity circles, he has heard that the Glazers have been trying to flop off United?
Its like adding 'Ronaldo' to the club but from the financial/corporate side. Imagine Ronaldo on the footballing side (for clicks and publicity) and Elon from the corporate/financial side.It's a desperate state of affairs when I'm sat here wishing it was actually true. At least it would be better than some sports-washing regime or the Glazers.
With the amount of publicity he generates, combined with our already huge global pull he could probably even make it a worthwhile investment for himself.
Hopefully he fires Murtough into space on a Tesla.
Crap car. Lots of marketing spin behind tesla.Tesla would be the coolest sponsor in the league.
