Elon Musk Withdraws Support for Nigel Farage Over Tommy Robinson Dispute
The billionaire criticizes the Reform Party leader's stance on the jailed far-right activist, creating tensions within the party's leadership and donor dynamics.
- Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of the Reform Party, called for Nigel Farage to step down as leader after disagreements over Tommy Robinson, the controversial former EDL leader currently in prison.
- Farage reiterated his rejection of Robinson, citing his criminal history and far-right rhetoric as incompatible with Reform's goals of mainstream political appeal.
- Musk's criticism of Farage follows his public calls for Robinson's release and accusations against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his handling of grooming gang cases as Director of Public Prosecutions.
- Reform Party members, including its MPs, have rallied behind Farage, emphasizing their commitment to distancing the party from Robinson and maintaining a broader voter base.
- The fallout with Musk raises questions about the billionaire's rumored $100 million donation to Reform and his influence on the party's future direction.
