The Tesla Inc chief executive officer and world’s richest person had tweeted that he was purchasing the club, in a thread joking about his political allegiances.
"I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome," Musk's tweet read.
However, he clarified the Tweet hours later, stating that it is a long-running joke on Twitter.
"No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter.
I’m not buying any sports teams." Musk posted when asked if he was serious about buying the club.
He further added that if he would buy a sports team, it would be United.
"Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid", he said.
The Premier League side have been in poor form and recently crashed to a 4-0 defeat against Brentford on Saturday August 13.
