Elon Musk Joins Conor McGregor in the $2 Billion Man Utd Rat Race; Before Catching Everyone Out

What is a common thing between UFC star Conor McGregor and tech-giant Elon Musk? Both are the richest in their respective fields. Apart from having a winning mentality and inhumane workload, these two also shared the same desire to purchase a soccer team (Manchester United) on their social media handles.

The richest man on Earth, with a net worth of $265.7 billion, shared a post with his massive 103.3 million followers on Twitter.

After sharing a view on the Republican and Democratic Party, Musk tweeted, “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”

The tweet floated on the internet and created a lot of noise in the sports-entertainment industry. However, Musk soon cleared the air around it as he answered if he was serious.

“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” wrote Elon Musk.

Further, the Tesla & SpaceX CEO had a revelation about his tie with The Red Devils, “Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid.”

United, founded in 1878, has been an iconic club that has won a record 13 English Premier League titles. However, their recent form hasn’t been the best that the fans have witnessed. Last week, Manchester United lost 4-0 to Brentford.

UFC superstar Conor McGregor showed a similar interest in 2021.

Just like Elon Musk, Conor McGregor previously wanted to buy Manchester United

Former two-division UFC world champion Conor McGregor, who has a net worth of $200 million, also showed an interest in buying the club not too long ago.

Last year, the Irish superstar asked for fans’ opinions as he tweeted, “Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying Manchester United!”

The self-proclaimed Face of the Fight Game withdrew from the decision as he shared another tweet in the first quarter of this year. Conor McGregor shifted his attention from The Red Devils to CFC (Chelsea FC) aka The Blues.

Even Tennis ace Serena Williams and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton once joined the bid against the Irish martial artist in the $3 billion race.
