Elon Musk joked on Twitter about buying Manchester United Plc, letting four and a half hours go by before clarifying he was kidding about purchasing the English football club listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Tesla Inc chief executive officer and world’s richest person sent his initial missive about the storied club in a reply to an earlier post about his political allegiances. When a Tesla fan club account asked whether Musk was serious, he replied no, he isn’t buying any sports teams.
