Elon Musk does U-turn on UK’s Reform party leader Nigel Farage after disagreement

Live Mint  

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Sunday that Nigel Farage, a leader of Britain's right-wing Reform UK party, should quit. Farage doesn’t have what it takes," Musk said on his social media platform X on Sunday, a few hours after Farage described him as a friend who made Reform look "cool", news agency Reuters reported. But in a post on X on Thursday, Musk expressed support for jailed British extremist agitator Tommy Robinson, sparking a disagreement with Farage, AFP reported. But Farage distanced himself from comments made by Musk in support of British anti-immigration and anti-Muslim activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, who is serving a prison sentence for contempt of court.
