Elon Musk wades back into UK politics, backs leader of new right-wing party, mocks rival
Share this @internewscast.com

Elon Musk has re-entered the British political scene, this time showing support for a new right-wing party, Advance UK, while taking a jab at Nigel Farage, leader of the expanding Reform UK party.

Musk posted on X: “Go with @_AdvanceUK, Ben [Habib] and Tommy [Robinson] for the real change that’s needed to save Britain!” He also commented, “Advance UK will actually drive change. Farage is weak sauce who will do nothing.”

Earlier this month, he addressed a massive crowd in London at the “Unite the Kingdom” rally led by controversial right-winger Tommy Robinson. Through a video link, the billionaire criticized the left, calling them “the party of murder.”

He emphasized the need for strict border enforcement and the deportation of illegal migrants, pointing out the growing issue of asylum-seekers staying in hotels at taxpayers’ expense, costing £5.8 million a day ($7.4 million).

“We need a holistic solution to reduce immigration,” stated Habib, echoing the notion of enforcing borders and deporting illegal migrants. He pointed out the pressing issue of asylum-seekers residing in hotels at the cost of £5.8 million per day ($7.4 million) to taxpayers.

Earlier this summer, Epping in southeast England saw protests over the use of hotels for asylum accommodation. Meanwhile, Farage faced controversy as he suspended a local councilor accused of racism during a demonstration.

Elon Musk responded to Farage’s suspending the council member on X. He wrote: “Farage is weak, runny sauce. He won’t let Reform even stand up for their own people, e.g. punishing their Epping member, and he will change nothing of significance politically.”

And according to recent polls, people in the U.K. would almost certainly say some real change is needed, especially regarding the lack of free speech. Earlier this year, Irish comedian Graham Linehan was met by armed police at Heathrow Airport after making online comments about transgender people. Such incidents appear to be fast becoming the norm.

Yet despite Musk’s criticism, a new opinion poll released on Friday in the U.K. by YouGov showed Farage’s Reform UK on target to deliver a massive defeat of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his ruling Labour Party if an election were to be held. 

Farage was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying, “The growth of the party has been astonishing,” noting, “we’re now coming for Labour.”
