Elon Musk's tweet joking about buying Manchester United causes stir

Elon Musk caused a stir by tweeting that he was buying the English soccer team Manchester United whose current owners are opposed by many fans then saying several hours later that it was a joke. It comes as the billionaire Tesla CEO faces a legal battle in the U.S. after backing out of a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. He is a prolific user of the platform, often musing about social issues or joking with his 103 million followers and occasionally getting into trouble with the U.S. regulators. Early Wednesday, Musk sent a tweet about his political affiliations and then added in a second tweet: Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome. That came as shocking news in the Manchester United world albeit welcome to many after nearly a decade of sub-par performances.

Musk previously ran afoul of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissi
