The prospect of an Elon Musk-owned team in F1 is enticing and threatening at the same time. While the $199 Billion worth businessman has a big car brand like Tesla, he prefers electric powertrain cars over traditional combustion engines.

Though F1 is moving towards a sustainable power unit approach and currently use hybrid engines, it is less likely F1 will go fully electric in the future. So if Elon wishes for an electric motor-racing team of Tesla, he might rather look at Formula E.
Nonetheless, Kiefer from Karlsruhe, Germany is quite keen on Musk buying an F1 team. And for his company, there are fans who wish Elon to be in F1 in some capacity.

Hey, @elonmusk: is there any chance we will get to see Tesla racing in F1 when they go full electric?
— Julie Bowser (@Astrospiderweb) December 1, 2022
We dearly hope F1 never goes fully electric. While a sustainable hybrid power unit is great, a fully electric power unit in F1 also takes off the shine of the Formula E series.

If he buys Ferrari he can take over their now boring cars (and make them even more boring) and maybe the F1 team will actually win something.

I would appreciate Elon in F1 as well, but I feel like he should just help F1 return to Kyalami instead. That would be awesome
— Vincenzo Landino (@vincenzolandino) December 2, 2022
Well, we hope if such a collaboration happens, Musk rather has more positive additions to F1. The 2026 power-unit regulations will increase electric power usage, but it will still be a Turbo-Hybrid power unit with an internal combustion engine.
