View submission: Liverpool owners won’t sell club to ‘interested’ Elon Musk
I think it'd be worse tbh. Bohely already owned part of a (rather large) sports team and at least understood some aspects of that coming in. Elon has never owned a sport team, he doesn't really have a history of wanting to play by the rules either. He'd probably try to spend a ton of money then get mad when he couldn't.

He'd submit a 44 Billion dollar contract extension for Trent/VVD/Salah, then try and back out of the deal after all the signatures and PR for the extensions are done

Just own a country and then have that country buy the club. He's already well on his way to step 1.

he’d be the absolute authority on all things football right after buying a team though

Yeah Boehly doesn't know much about football, but at least the Chelsea approach is fuelled by American sports team logic, so there is some sort of passion and drive there.

I haven't really been following the Bohely drama, is your turn around this season due to his spending spree finally paying off or is it because he's no longer involved with the club's football operations?

Is that a bad thing? Owners that just play safe within the rules are also very often the ones fans want out. Fans always want owners to go out on a limb and go big for their club

Rich businessman got rich by not spending recklessly.
I think he will see Liverpool as a business that generates profit.
