Overview

  • Nigel Farage has clarified that reports of a multimillion-pound donation from Elon Musk to Reform UK were 'massively over-exaggerated' and unlikely to materialize.
  • Farage and Musk remain in communication, with Farage describing their relationship as being on 'perfectly reasonable terms' despite a public falling-out earlier this year.
  • The falling-out stemmed from disagreements over far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with Farage refusing to align with Musk's stance on the issue.
  • Musk had previously called for Farage to step down as leader of Reform UK, suggesting Rupert Lowe as a replacement; Lowe was later expelled from the party following bullying allegations.
  • Farage is now focused on preparing Reform UK for the May 1 local elections, with the party set to officially launch its campaign at an event in Birmingham.
