Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, have responded to claims from Elon Musk's father that the South African multi-billionaire would be interested in buying the club.

South African businessman Musk is comfortably the world's richest man with a reported net worth of $414.5 billion at the time of writing, as per Forbes.

The 53-year-old, who is the controversial owner of social media platform X (Twitter), has previously denied that he is interested in buying a football club.

Speaking on Times Radio on Tuesday, though, Musk's father Errol declared that his son is keen on taking over Liverpool.

When asked if Musk had ever expressed an interest in buying Liverpool, Musk Sr replied: "Oh yes, oh yes - but that doesn't mean he's buying it, you know.

"He would like to, yes. Obviously. Anyone would want to. So would I. My mother - his grandmother - was born in Liverpool and we have relatives in Liverpool.

He went on to claim: "We were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles, because they grew up with us, my family, and so we're really attached to Liverpool."

Musk's grandmother was called Cora Robinson, and is said to have been born and raised in the city of Liverpool before then marrying Walter Musk, a South African army sergeant who served in a military intelligence unit in Egypt during World War II.

Liverpool owners respond to Elon Musk 'interest'

According to The Times, Liverpool's ownership have 'no desire' to hold discussions with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk, with insiders claiming, in regards to the radio interview, that the club are 'not taking [it] terribly seriously'.

Fenway Sports Group have owned Liverpool since October 2010, taking over from the wildly unpopular duo of George Gillett and Tom Hicks.

In 2022, FSG and Liverpool principal owner John W Henry told The Athletic in a statement that they would 'consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of the club' - but did not want to sell the club outright.

And in September 2023, it was confirmed that Dynasty Equity, an American sports investment firm, had invested to acquire a minority share of between 1.9 and 3.8 per cent in Liverpool.
