Elon Musk joked about buying the UK after US satirical site The Babylon Bee published a tongue-in-cheek article claiming he had acquired Britain to 'establish free speech'.
Musk responded on X by asking, 'How much is it?' The remark stood out given Musk's track record of turning seemingly unlikely acquisition jokes into real deals. He later shared an AI-generated video portraying himself as Austin Powers in scenes depicting Britain and as the 'man who bought the UK.'
