Tech guru Elon Musk has hit out at GB News with a cheeky jibe as they interviewed a distant contact to dicuss his latest actions. It comes at the X owner's dad, Errol, has claimed that the billionaire wants to buy Liverpool Football Club.
According to the report, Elon's dad said that the businessman is "not necessarily considering it but would love to do so." The newsreader, who was stood outside in a road, explained: "That is because of the family's heritage here in the city.
"His grandmother, Elon's grandmother Cora, was reportedly born here but not just reportedly in the city of Liverpool but here on this very street."
She went on to reveal that the news channel had managed to speak to the owner of Elon Musk's grandmother's former home. The homeowner said that the idea of Elon buying LFC was "absolute nonsense".
He added: "Whatever his agenda is, it's nothing to do with what's going on here."

The entrepeneur has reportedly been advised that it would cost him upwards of £ 8 billion ($10bn) to take over the reins of Liverpool.
However, since current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are not actively seeking to sell, Musk may well be compelled to make an even more substantial bid.
With an estimated fortune of £344.7billion ($415.8b), as reported by Forbes, Musk, the man dubbed the richest on Earth, certainly has the financial clout to make such a high-profile acquisition a reality, should the opportunity arise.
