The far-Right activist Tommy Robinson is reportedly being bankrolled by Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, months after the convicted criminal caused a rift between Musk and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Robinson has faced a slew of legal setbacks in recent months, including losing an appeal to shorten his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court after he repeated libellous comments about a Syrian refugee. The activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also lost a challenge against his segregation in jail in March and was charged under the Terrorism Act for failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN number last year. He is currently being held in a closed wing at Woodhill in Milton Keynes, before his release in July.
The 42-year-old hasn't had to cover all of the legal costs himself, however, according to a post shared to his Telegram channel in which a spokesperson thanked Musk for "agreeing to provide support [to Robinson] for two specific legal cases". The cases in question, concerning "the treatment of Tommy while in prison" and the "Terrorism Case", could add up to around £125,000 in legal fees, The i paper reports.
The world's richest man began posting about Robinson after the Southport riots in July 2024, before calling for the controversial activist to be released from prison in January.
Robinson, who was formerly a member of the British National Party and the English Defense League, was behind bars for "telling the truth", Musk alleged.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
He’s in jail for threatening the Islamic child rape business going on in the once great U.K. The PM’s don’t like that.
They are normal people who are being chewed up by a corrupt system.
The delicate flowers who shudder at a member of the great unwashed fighting back because they are just so crude should never be allowed to lead anything. They will throw you and the cause under the bus because they do not actually believe it it.
Such people should not be trusted.
True, but disgusting even thinking about the UK officials covering for this.
I applaud Elon Musk for his help with Tommy Robinson.
"Far Right", "Convicted Criminal", Hmmm... Where have we typically herd these terms before? I have been following Mr. Robinson efforts for over five years now and I can safely say he is neither. What say you?
> far-Right activist
Far-right because he opposes the rape of children. You can make a lot of powerful enemies that way.
He is a convicted criminal but he was convicted of things that should not have been crimes in the first place. IMHO that makes him a hero.
That is what I say but my opinion counts for nothing in the UK so it has no weight.
What is amazing is that he was convicted of terrorism for not giving out his phone PIN.
Actual terrorists are treated better over there...
HOORAY Elon Musk!
England is a shitty tyrannical company, and the United States should start looking at it as a hostile nation.
That's what juries are for. I can't help but notice that Mr. Robinson has never really had one.
Agreed. It should go without saying in any remotely sane society. I tend to agree with Robert Heinlein. "An armed society is a polite society." Nuff said.
Which is why I believe that people who attempt to avoid jury duty are in the same category as draft dodgers. You will never have more power to influence the way the country is going then when you sit on a jury.
Although I am not sure jury nullification works the same way in the UK as it does in the US.
Once again I agree. However. The problem is getting sane people on any given jury in the US. the last time I was called for jury duty was in Texas. It was for a capital murder trial where an accomplice to an armed robbery that resulted in the murder of a store clerk at point blank range with a 9mm hand gun was to be held accountable. I was asked in jury selection directly if I would vote for the death penalty and I said the defendant was just as culpable as the person that actually pulled the trigger. I was immediately dismissed from the jury pool by the defendants defense team. How fair do you think that is?
Yes. Agree.
The better question was, is it just?
And the answer is yeah, the defense had a certain number of strikes just as the prosecution does. So it was just.
For the record I agree with you, once you start down the robbery with violence road someone is going to get hurt. And, since this was a totally predictable outcome, you carry the full responsibility.
The UK is trying to kill him without getting their hands dirty. The UK is a cowardly colony of Oslam too afraid to hold the knife of allah so gives it their Islamic masters.
The once great UK is now Perfidious Albion.
