Elon Musk Declares: “I WANT TO OWN INTER MIAMI” – Beckham and Messi Respond
In a bold and unexpected move, American billionaire Elon Musk has publicly declared his desire to purchase Inter Miami CF, stating, “I want to own Inter Miami,” during a recent interview. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO hinted at being ready to spend a “massive amount of money” to take control of the Major League Soccer (MLS) club, sparking a wave of speculation across U.S. sports and media.
However, co-owner David Beckham and global football icon Lionel Messi responded firmly in a recent interview, stunning the American sports world. Beckham emphasized his long-term vision for the club, saying, “Inter Miami is more than a business; it’s a passion project for the city, the fans, and the game.” Messi added, “We’re building something special here — it’s not for sale.”
The powerful responses from Beckham and Messi make it clear that, despite Musk’s fortune and ambition, ownership of Inter Miami won’t change hands easily.
