(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, AUG 16 - Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he will buy Manchester United, the team from the British city currently owned by the Glazer family of American entrepreneurs.
The announcement came after a series of tweets in which the Tesla patron joked about his political affiliation, so it's unclear whether this is yet another hoax from the richest man in the world.
"To be clear I support the left of the Republican divider and the right of the Democratic one. Also I am buying Manchester United. Please!", Is the Twitter sequence in which Musk announced the purchase of the Northern England club.
It might be a joke, however, Tesla's boss is very good at the weight his tweets have on the media and on market trends.
