He should sack the board and make rangnick dof and give him a 500m transfer kitty to splash in one transfer window.
If he does buy United, of course, he will remove the board. They consist mainly of the Glazers.

Secondly, Musk is nearly 100 times richer than the Glazers combined. And your fantasy DOF is Rangnick? He's not the best DOF out there -- though probably the mouthiest one. With Elon around, there can only be one mouthy one.

Amazed this made it to nine pages tbh. He would undoubtedly be preferable to the window fitters but he is still an absolutely colossal bellend and it would get old quickly watching him use us for attention.
Let's be real. Anybody that could afford us is going to be a colossal bellend or even worse, absolutely terrible people.

He is an idiot, we'd be an official circus if he actually did buy us

Thankfully he's not and just looking for clout from basement dwellers
We're already an official circus. I fail to see how his tweets would have any relevance.

Already over :(

Actually, cocks back out

That fav team as a kid is so fishy tbh. He probably didn't even know United exists as a kid.

I can see him in the future after buying United saying it was initially only a joke but I did this because I'm a fan from childhood and because United fans are begging me for it. PR stunt. First he gives people hope. Then he feck that. Then he does it only because of love and people begging. Playing with our emotions.

Maybe I'm too hopeful but anything is possible I'd say this is not over yet.

Can’t believe this thread got 10 pages in the middle of the night. Is this the first time you clueless muppets have experienced a Musk tweet?

It would make us entertaining and seeing our owners actually have a presence would be so refreshing compared to the current ownership.

Also what exactly are people expecting? There are no saints who have the amount of money required to justify buying this club.

That being said - no chance this is anything other than him taking the piss

Are you serious? He's one of the most important humans to have ever been born for the survival of the human race.

Not these tweets. If he did for some reason decide to buy us (he won't) then he'd be constantly yapping about everything and hold Twitter polls probably

Yes I don't even use Twitter. And of course don't give a feck about Musk. So this is just another joke and 100 % won't happen?

So You're Telling Me There's A Chance?
Little to none I'd think.
Would be interesting though if Radcliff and himself formed a consortium...
Can imagine Knighton running all over the place trying to figure-out how to get involved.

He's not a tech genius like everyone & including himself claim but certainly not an idiot.
He's fecking a genius at market manipulation.
200+ billion net worth manipulating markets? Not an idiot and not a genius means he’s an average person. His bank account doesn’t look average at all.

him owning united? He’d want to succeed. Can he stop the urge of being the owner, the football director, the manager and maybe a player in the process? Not sure


:lol:

Elon Musk do use Twitter to see reactions. Only problem is he do joke a lot as well. I would love to have him. Crazy and brilliant man.

In Ridley Scott's movie The Martian, they use the gravity of Earth to slingshot a spaceship back past Mars.

I think Elon is planning on using the gravity of Maguire's head to slingshot his Teslas down the motorway.

Fair enough. He does nothing other than posting attention seeking nonsense. This is no different.

He is the king of market manipulation. Be it bitcoin, a shitcoin like doge or his very own company:

He might wake up one day and spontaneously feel like buying United for a laugh. But he'd quickly lose interest and move onto something else. Revolutionary thinkers like him aren't here to run sports franchises, they're here for more important things

It's probably true. Remember he grew up in South Africa.

No offence, but you look like the guy who gets heartbroken 5 times a day, just because the cashier greats you nicely, the neighbour lady replies to your “hi”, etc.

Dont look for hope where there isnt. He was just joking as he himself admitted. We’re the banter club now.

In the comments someone said are you serious and he said no it’s just a long running joke on Twitter, I’m not buying any sports team. So there you have it

God help us all, if this is what people actually believe, than there is no future for the human race.

Musk is a fraud and a bully, not to me mention a racist piece of shit (google Tesla working conditions).

Also he's not as rich as people think, mostly it's paper money, and if he is forced to buy Twitter, if he looses the law suit, then he will be in a world of trouble, as his Tesla stock is heavily leveraged already.

Also, he's not an engineer, has no relevant tech patents and didn't invent a single thing, not at PayPal, not at Tesla, nor SpaceX.

Anyone who believes he is some kind of genius savior, is a ****, plain and simple.

United is ultra popular in South Africa, so that may be very true..

He buys us, has his fun building a spanking high tech new stadium and a new team and a few years down the line says our shares are too high and wants to sell.

The guy would probably make Roman look laid back and his name sounds like a Wilko's after shave.

Elon musk has been on his special cigarettes again and decided to get himself trending on twitter. What a dick.
