Elon Musk would like to buy Liverpool Football Club, according to his father.

Errol Musk admitted his son — who is the richest person in the world with a net worth of US$421.2 billion (S$575 billion)— is interested in acquiring the Premier League leaders, but he didn't want to say too much for fear of the price increasing.

When asked if his son wants to buy Liverpool FC, Errol said on Times Radio: "I can't comment on that, they'll raise the price.

"Oh yes, [he has expressed a desire], but that doesn't mean he's buying it."

Quizzed on whether purchasing Liverpool is in his "son's sights", he said: "He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to — so would I."

Elon has family ties to the city of Liverpool.

Errol explained: "His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, and we were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family.

"So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know."
