Billionaire Elon Musk publicly called for a new leader for the Reform Party, stating that Nigel Farage 'doesn't have what it takes'. This followed Farage's recent praise of Musk and suggestions of potential financial backing for the party.
Elon Musk has publicly criticized Nigel Farage, calling for a new leader for the Reform Party . Musk stated on Twitter that Farage 'doesn't have what it takes' and suggested the party needs fresh leadership. This unexpected statement came shortly after Farage praised Musk as a 'hero' and claimed his support made the Reform Party 'look cool'. Farage responded on Twitter, hinting that the disagreement stemmed from Musk's support for Tommy Robinson's appointment to Reform.
He maintained his stance that Robinson is unsuitable for the party. This public clash follows weeks of positive interactions between the two, with Farage suggesting Musk might invest billions in his party. During a recent TV interview, Farage defended Musk against criticism for his attacks on Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips, attributing Musk's support to attracting young voters. Musk, known for his close ties to Donald Trump, has previously expressed support for Tommy Robinson's release from jail, Germany's far-right AfD party, and the Reform Party itself. Before the conflict, Farage refused to criticize Musk, stating that he doesn't agree with everything he stands for but believes in free speech
