A viral video has sparked speculation that billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought Ford, but this is not true. The rumor started on social media as users shared posts and a YouTube “what if” video exploring possible scenarios of Musk taking over the automaker.
However, a spokesperson for Ford confirmed that there was no sale or acquisition. Elon Musk does own other companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), and xAI, but not Ford. The entrepreneur has also been in the news recently due to his endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign and advancements in self-driving vehicles.
