Overview
- Elon Musk publicly called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader, citing a lack of leadership qualities.
- The dispute stems from Farage's opposition to far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whom Musk has expressed support for in the past.
- Farage claims his meeting with Musk addressed the criticism, framing it as Musk encouraging policy shifts he was unwilling to make.
- Rumors of Musk potentially donating to Reform UK through his company X preceded the public rift between the two figures.
- Despite the conflict, Farage maintains that his relationship with Musk remains cordial and continues to praise him as a 'hero.'
