Elon Musk is a buzzing name in the business world for the past few years. Musk recently acquired Twitter and caused tremors on the social media platform. Many have been quitting the global platform in fear of it imploding due to Elon’s changes. Although, now a Red Bull E-Sports driver is requesting the Tesla CEO to acquire something more.
A Red Bull E-Sports driver named Marcel Kiefer from Germany has requested Elon Musk to buy an F1 team. He has been persistently replying to Elon Musk’s tweets with his requests for an F1 team acquisition.

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.
Fans react to the prospect of Elon Musk in F1
Few fans on social media have commented on their wishes about Elon being in F1 in some or the other roles. Here are a few of the tweets:
Hey, @elonmusk: is there any chance we will get to see Tesla racing in F1 when they go full electric?

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.
