A video resurfaced online, stirring up speculation that Texas billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought Ford. However, that is untrue.
The rumor started to spread on social media as users shared posts about Musk buying Ford, including a YouTube video that resurfaced that explored what might happen if Musk were to, hypothetically, obtain Ford. The YouTube channel posts “what if” videos on a variety of topics.
Ford spokesperson Mark Truby confirmed that Musk didn’t buy Ford, saying: “No, that’s not true.”
Although Musk didn’t buy Ford, he does own several other companies, including the American automobile and clean energy company Tesla, spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX, social media platform X — formerly known as Twitter — and startup company xAI. He also founded the Boring Company and co-founded PayPal.
Musk has been in the headlines this election season as he endorsed and helped fund campaign efforts for President-elect Donald Trump. He also introduced new self-driving vehicle developments which could be made available soon.
