Elon Musk has recently engaged with UK politics by endorsing Nigel Farage, a prominent figure in the UK's far-right political scene, against Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party. Musk's involvement comes after his previous interactions with German far-right politics, where he supported figures like Alice Weidel of the Alternative for Germany (AfD). His latest move includes retweeting and commenting on posts that criticize Starmer and praise Farage, who has been a vocal critic of the EU and immigration policies. This endorsement aligns with Musk's pattern of supporting right-wing and populist leaders globally, potentially influencing the political discourse in the UK as it heads towards a general election.
