<p>Fans of one professional sports team are urging entrepreneur Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to drop his quest to buy Twitter for a staggering $43 billion and to instead buy their team.</p>
<p>&#8220;Manchester United fans are pleading with Tesla owner Elon Musk to buy the club from the Glazer family,&#8221; the Manchester Evening News <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-tesla-elon-musk-23702587">reported</a>. &#8220;The drive to bring the richest man on the planet started with talkSPORT host and United fan Andy Goldstein responding to a tweet from Musk about his efforts to buy Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldstein reportedly responded to a tweet from Musk about his offer to buy Twitter, writing: &#8220;Elon, Elon. Retract your offer. Buy Man United.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Spend £2bn on the best players in the world,&#8221; Goldstein added. &#8220;Win everything and then boast about it on Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10721819/Man-United-fans-urge-Elon-Musk-ditch-41bn-bid-Twitter-buy-club-instead.html">noted</a> that the news comes as dozens of Manchester United fans have &#8220;descended on the club&#8217;s Carrington training ground to protest against the Glazer family&#8217;s ownership, amid yet another season of failure on the pitch.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Banners reading &#8216;Glazers out&#8217; and &#8216;Disgrace &#8211; Not fit to wear the shirt&#8217; were held up outside the gates to the complex, with United beefing up security in anticipation and calling in police,&#8221; the report added. &#8220;The demonstration on Friday lunchtime appears to be a precursor to a larger anti-Glazer protest planned for Old Trafford ahead of the Premier League match with Norwich City on Saturday.&#8221;</p>
<p>Various reports, mostly in British publications, highlighted numerous tweets that fans have sent to Musk asking him to buy the team.</p>
<p>Twitter has attempted to stop Musk from taking over the company by adopting a so-called “poison pill” that effectively allows all shareholders, except those trying to buy out the company, to purchase newly offered shares at a discounted price.</p>
<p>Musk would have to purchase the new shares at a higher price, which could end up being too much for him to afford, if he wanted to takeover the company. Despite throwing a massive roadblock in Musk’s way, the adoption of the poison pill would not bar Musk from being able to buy the company, it would only make it harder.</p>
<p>“A poison pill is a way to stave off someone until you can get a higher price. It makes it outrageously expensive for the person to buy it,” said Charles Elson, the founding director of the University of Delaware’s Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. “It’s a doomsday machine, it’s the atomic bomb, everyone gets wiped out — that’s the key.”</p>
