"I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome," Elon Musk said in a tweet that is part of a thread where he stated he supported the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democrats.

Hours later, Elon Musk tweeted that "I'm not buying any sports teams", calling a viral post about him purchasing Manchester United a joke.

The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the comment in reply to another of his tweets, about supporting both of the United States' two major political parties.

Elon Musk is no stranger to tweets that take the net and markets by strong most infamously for tweets in 2018 about taking Tesla private.
