Elon Musk, a prominent US businessman, reversed his previous support for Nigel Farage, leader of Britain's Reform UK party. Musk criticized Farage's leadership and expressed support for Tommy Robinson, a jailed British extremist known for his anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant views. This stance sparked a public disagreement between Musk and Farage.
US businessman Elon Musk appeared to withdraw his support for Nigel Farage , leader of Britain's anti-immigration Reform UK party, after the former Brexit figurehead publicly disagreed with the US tech billionaire regarding jailed British extremist Tommy Robinson . Musk said on X that he believed 'The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn't have what it takes', criticizing UK politics.
Farage had recently stated he was in talks with Musk about a potential large donation for his party, which split the right-wing vote during the Labour Party's victory in July's general election. However, after Musk expressed support for Robinson on X, stating he should be freed for 'telling the truth' regarding a grooming scandal, Farage disagreed. Robinson is currently imprisoned for contempt of court stemming from a libel case involving a Syrian refugee. Farage countered Musk's claim, stating that Robinson is in prison for contempt of court, not for speaking out against grooming gangs, as Musk implied
