Following the latest rumor circulating online, many are eager to know if Elon Musk did buy the Ford Motor Company. This viral rumor has gained massive attention as individuals continue to theorize how the company’s vision will shift under the Tesla founder’s ownership. However, with no official news from the company or Musk, many are finding it hard to identify the authenticity of the rumor.
So, has Musk bought Ford or the rumor is just another fake piece of information? Here are the details.
Did Tesla CEO Elon Musk buy Ford?
The rumors are false. Tesla CEO Musk hasn’t bought Ford.
The news about Musk buying Ford Motor Company garnered immense attention when discussions spiraled out in online forums due to false posts and videos. One particular video that gained a lot of traction was from a YouTube channel called Voyager. The channel, which has over 500,000 subscribers, released a one-hour video a month ago titled “Elon Musk: ‘I Am Officially Buying Ford!’”
However, the video was ultimately speculative, examining the potential consequences of a hypothetical acquisition. The channel is well-known for combining speculative narratives with scientific concepts to create entertaining content for its audience. Given the channel’s focus, the video was fictional and intended purely for amusement.
Nevertheless, no authoritative outlet or Musk himself has reported buying Ford in recent times. So, the rumors circulating are nothing but false.
However, there is no doubt there are good relations between Ford and Tesla CEOs and they even had an electric charging network deal earlier. Subsequently, Ford CEO Jim Farley had nothing but praises for the Space X founder following their deal.
He said, “I just want to thank you, and your team for, you know, working together on behalf of all of our customers and for all the customers calling in. Thank you. We’re really pumped up about working with you to make our customers lives better. And we’re really thankful for your partnership.” (via The Street)
