Disclosure: I'm a LFC fan. I'm from an Irish family and Liverpool is one of the two main religions in the diaspora.

To do that, he’d have to buy FSG, and I don’t think they’re for sale. Like, ever.

I am also a Boston Red Sox fan and would welcome a reprieve from FSG.

ETA - FSG were shopping for investment partners and a potential sale of LFC as recently as 2023.

Quote:Elon Musk has lashed out at California fire officials, baselessly accusing them of putting DEI measures over “saving lives and homes,” as MAGA supporters are spreading conspiracy theories on social media about the catastrophic wildfires ripping through Los Angeles County.

On Wednesday afternoon, Musk reposted a comment on his social media platform X from the right-wing account Libs of TikTok, which hit out at the Los Angeles Fire Department’s diversity hiring policies.

“They prioritized DEI [diversity, equity inclusion principles] over saving lives and homes,” Musk baselessly claimed, without offering any evidence or explanation.

Donald Trump Jr also weighed in, criticizing the LAFD’s donation of surplus equipment to Ukraine to help with the war effort in 2022. “Oh look of course The LA fire department donated a bunch of their supplies to Ukraine,” he said, without adding any further insight.

Quote:In a live interview on X Wednesday evening with political strategist Mark Penn, the billionaire conceded that his initial goal of cutting the federal budget by “at least $2 trillion” was a taller task than he first believed.

“Do you think the $2 trillion is a realistic number now that you’re looking more closely at it?” Penn asked.

“I think we’ll try for $2 trillion. I think that’s the best-case outcome,” Musk responded. “But I do think that you kind of have to have some overage. I think if we try for $2 trillion, we’ve got a good shot at getting one [trillion].”
