Elon Musk says 'Farage doesn't have what it takes' as Reform UK leader describes comment as 'a surprise'

A dividing line has opened up between the world's richest man and Reform leader Nigel Farage over the former's support for jailed activist Tommy Robinson.

Elon Musk, the owner of X Corp, commented on Nigel Farage's leadership of Reform UK, stating that Farage "doesn't have what it takes" to lead the party effectively. This statement came after Farage, who has been a prominent figure in British politics and a former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), took over as leader of Reform UK, a party advocating for significant changes in UK governance. Farage responded to Musk's critique by expressing surprise at the remarks, suggesting that Musk might not fully understand the UK's political landscape. This interaction highlights the intersection of international business figures with domestic politics, showcasing Musk's influence and his occasional forays into political commentary.
