Elon Musk has been actively using the social media to discuss whatever is on his mind.Musk has a very huge influence, his tweets on some topics have sent prices of Tesla and other stocks such as cryptocurrencies, Twitter, $Manchester United PLC(MANU)$ to fluctuate significantly.Throughout the world of football giants, the name of the Red Devil $Manchester United PLC(MANU)$, in the football world status is absolutely famous and powerful existence.There are alot of football fans definitely like the idea of associating the Manchester United and Elon Musk and therefore would have attracted an enormous “like” on Musk’s tweet about he was planning to buy Manchester United. He must have felt very thrilled, satisfied and happy that the number of “like” in this tweet has reached one of his top

With over 100 million followers in Twitter,  Elon Musk is like a powerful tornado that shake things and rattle people.   He is certainly unconventional,  highly imaginative and wildly unpredictable.Unfortunately for the poor fans of Manchester United,  the joke is on them.  One minute they were jumping for joy as they thought that Elon Musk is buying Manchester United.   The next minute it is not happening .With the  massive wealth at his disposal,  Elon Musk can almost buy anything he wants.   I wonder if he is interested in $Snap Inc(SNAP)$ as it is another social media company if the Twitter Deal falls through?  He can Snapchat to his heart's content.   Pe

Elon Musk is unpredictable, a personality trait which has at times landed him in trouble. He enjoys attention, though sometimes he got into the limelight for the wrong reasons, such as allegations on his sexual misconduct.Hence, I do not take his tweets seriously and am not surprised that he was joking aboutacquiring Manchester United. I doubt his seriousness, given that he only recently backed out of his take-over bid for $Twitter(TWTR)$.I would think that blockchain companies are more plausible acquisition targets for him, as he has been an avid supporter of cryptocurrencies, even allowing Tesla cars to be purchased with bitcoins previously. Many blockchain companies are under pressure due to on-going

He's just too bored for being the richest man in the world. He enjoys being in limelight and wants to create his own news to gain more fame. 
Here we go again, dishing out same formula rinse and repeat eh Elon 😉? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Twitter short term investors taking a bet on Elon takeover bid of Twitter will unlikely take the bait this time round on Man Utd share. Besides, there's no reason too.Why? If one is taking a look at Man Utd financial, it doesn't make any logical sense to invest into a business with huge debts. If I'm to compare Twitter vs Man Utd and to choose one, I'm more likely to go with Twitter.To sums up, Elon Musk is probably bored, looking for some excitement to pass time. He is better off focusing on his core business or Space X generating more revenues, profits, increasing free cash flow, reducing debts on his businesses to gain more market share vs his competitors.

Musk & $MANU: To Buy or Not to Buy, That is the Question

To buy or not to buy, that is the questionThroughout the world of football giants, the name of the Red Devil $Manchester United PLC(MANU)$, in the football world status is absolutely famous and powerful existence. But the Red Devils, in recent seasons, seem to have lost their mojo. The lineup of Cairo, B fee, Varane, Sancho, Rashford and a host of other masters, but the record is a mess, the senior internal chaos is unbearable.Manchester United has gradually evolved from a strong team that relies on its performance to a "weblebrity" that relies on topics that bring traffic. A variety of media "true or false" news are coming, just today, another rumor about the Red Devils continue to ferment in the network:

Feel that everyone over amplified and treat what he states on Twitter as absolute fact. Should always take whatever he claims outside of topics related to SpaceX and Tesla with a pinch of salt since he is known for trolling
