Nigel Farage, a longtime supporter of Donald Trump, will attend the President-elect's inauguration and aims to mend his strained relationship with Elon Musk.
Brexit leader Nigel Farage has confirmed that he will attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump this month and will seek to mend ties with fellow Trump ally Elon Musk . Donald Trump ’s longest international supporter and ally, Nigel Farage , said Tuesday that he plans to attend the inauguration on January 20th and is set to stay in Washington D.C. for around “four or five days”.
“I’ve been a friend of Donald Trump’s for a decade, I’ve been very supportive of him, he’s been very supportive of me,” Farage said. “I can’t see that changing for a moment.” The Clacton MP said that he will attempt to mend ties with Musk during his time in America. While the tech billionaire initially backed Farage, having met with him last month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida amid rumours of a large donation to Reform, Musk abruptly called for new leadership of the party. The move against Farage was apparently inspired by Farage’s refusal to consider letting currently imprisoned English activist Tommy Robinson into his party. Farage has long had a policy of blocking members of street protest groups from joining his parties as part of his campaign to detoxify the right and mainstream sovereigntism, something he sees as essential to actually capture enough votes to make an impact in the British electoral system. Musk has vocally supported Robinson and praised him for his history of highlighting the abuse faced by young white British girls at the hands of Muslim Pakistani child rape gangs. Striking a conciliatory tone, Mr Farage said Tuesday: “I have no desire to go to war with Elon Musk. I’m not going to, and I haven’t done. I’m a huge admirer of him, I think he’s a heroic figure. “I think the sort of tech changes that he’s bringing to the world are incredible I think buying Twitter actually has bought a lot of free speech back even if some people don’t like what’s being said, well you know what, tough,” he adde
