DAN HODGES: Nigel Farage deserves credit for taking a stand against Musk. It might do him a favour with UK voters

Daily Mail  

Winston Churchill once observed that 'an appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last'. After months of trying to ingratiate himself with the world's richest man in the hope of securing favours and funding, Reform's leader was finally forced to distance himself from comments Musk had made in support of far-Right extremist Tommy Robinson. He praised Elon Musk hours before the billionaire called for Reform to dump him After months of trying to ingratiate himself with Musk in the hope of securing favours and funding, Farage was finally forced to distance himself from comments the world's richest man made in support of far-Right extremist Tommy Robinson But with one flick of a megalo-maniacal finger, those dreams have turned to dust. Firstly, Nigel Farage deserves credit for taking a stand against Musk, and pointing out that Tommy Robinson is not a hero wrongly imprisoned for a selfless campaign on behalf of working-class girls, but a thug and extremist who has rightly been jailed for contempt of court. Reform treasurer Nick Candy, Musk and Farage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort last month So there is no need, as some have been suggesting, to impose bans on Musk's social media platform.
