Expecting Nigel Farage to embrace Tommy Robinson in the Reform Party would be akin to expecting President Trump to embrace Alex Jones in the new Republican Party.

Wouldn't surprise me if Musk did expect Trump to embrace Alex Jones.

"...If he succeeds, there are strong indications he will eventually call for MAGA to remove President Trump..."

My Conservative friends in the Uk are very disillusioned with the Tory party, but can’t stand Farage.

I would think Musk has enough on his hands with our issues, without meddling Over There.

Elon Musk is a great man he has a variety of very strong opinions... As do we all. By reporting these opinions the press is just stirring controversy, nothing more. This reporting is a TDS variant. Our champions must keep their eyes on the prize and not allow themselves to distracted.

This is a dream come true. I’ve followed Tommy Robinson for 15+ years….ever since he drop-kicked an ISIS group spitting on UK servicemen during a homecoming.

He was banned from ALL social media and imprisoned for any excuse the State could get away with. He is now serving 18 months in prison under the veil of ‘contempt of court’….in solitary confinement, for exposing government corruption.

Elon gave him back his Twitter/X account and has probably watched Tommy’s BANNED movie that exposed the corruption.

Elon + X + Tommy = nightmare for UK tyranny

Elon Musk has good instincts. He probably saw Nigel Farage to be more like Boris Johnson. May be good on some issues (like Brexit) but ultimately he was not the leader for the movement.

Why? Because Farage lost Great Britain miserably to the Labour Party.

nbc news isn’t a reliable news source...

musk is a rocket scientist that’s launching rockets and satellites into space while you’re launching insults at him on the internet...

Farage in his own words...

Nigel Farage responds to Elon: "Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree. My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles."

Nuff said, Farage.

I don’t know about how Elon’s been acting lately. He sparked a little civil war (or two) in the Republican Party. He’s trying to get a new hand-picked leader installed in the British Reform Party, hurting the chances of Nigel Farage, who surely is the best bet the Brits have of actually getting a Trumpian figure in as Prime Minister. I heard too that he’s really been blowing up the political scene in Germany recently.

Once a “free speech absolutist,” he’s also now pushing what Steve Bannon is calling a Chinese-style social credit score algorithm on Twitter. Various people critical of him have been censored on Twitter. He’s really been flexing his muscles on so many fronts. He almost got Speaker Johnson ousted, and sadly he’s gotten a lot of devout American First types upset not only with him but also with Trump.

Is Elon Musk the most powerful person on Earth? I’m glad he’s (more or less) on our side, but I still find this a little disturbing. I lean in the populist direction and would prefer the little people to be left to work things out, rather than have rule by the world’s richest man. God help us if he ever turns against Trump like he’s doing to Farage.

“Expecting Nigel Farage to embrace Tommy Robinson in the Reform Party would be akin to expecting President Trump to embrace Alex Jones in the new Republican Party.”

Yeah... and we should want both of those. This is a time for choosing. This is a time for truth. The time for political triangulation is over. Tommy Robinson has done nothing but relentlessly shine light on the Pakistani Rape gangs.

Of Farange is OK with him being locked up for showing his film, the Farange is part of the problem. The Pakistani rape gang issue in binary.... no wiggle room.

Musk is a Deep State puppet.

He’s screwing up our side—and it’s probably not an accident.

Just a high-rent Nick Fuentes.

The UK is doomed anyway. The massive majority of the population is far to the left of the US democratic party.
They have no free speech. London is gone. Only 36% is white British.
Let them go. Cut them adrift.

I think Musk is once again showing the Asperger aspect of his personality - can’t tolerate disagreement. I think Farage understands UK politics far better than Musk.

” Farage is in his position and intents for a Reform Party that is surging in the U.K specifically because Farage is expanding the tent. Farage praises Elon Musk but will not go so far with the Tommy Robinson issue.

I did not know Farange was a member of the Bush family.

I don’t see a real reason why Farage and Robinson can’t work together.

But then, I am not a Brit and unlike some others in the blogosphere, won’t be telling Brits what to do.
