Elon Musk has thrown his support behind a former Reform UK MP and his new political party, which is promising to 'reverse' migration and 'do things the [British] way'.
Rupert Lowe, now an independent MP representing Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, has announced the launch of Restore Britain.
He originally set it up as a 'political movement' after being suspended from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party last March, amid allegations he physically threatened then party chairman Zia Yusuf.
The Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the case, stating there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
Restore Britain has established itself as an umbrella party that will partner with locally-based candidates who are in alignment with the party's wide-ranging right-wing policies on migration, welfare, taxes and national identity.
The Tesla billionaire was among the first to endorse the party with a glittering post on his X social media platform that has been liked 145,000 times.
'Join Rupert Lowe in Restore Britain, because he is the only one who will actually do it!' wrote Musk, who at one time apparently supported Lowe's former political boss.
But last January the world's richest man sensationally turned on Farage, saying he should be removed as leader of Reform UK leader because he does not 'have what it takes'.
Lowe, a businessman, farmer and previous chairman of Southampton FC, is expected to stand again for the Great Yarmouth constituency under the banner of Great Yarmouth First.
The party will become the first to partner with the newly-launched Restore Britain, the BBC reported.
Lowe announced the creation of the party with a seven-minute long campaign video published onto his social media.

Split that vote. Give the leftists more power.
Elon’s the man for the job. Move there. I’d be like Thatcher/Reagan.

What does “Restore Britain” mean and stand for?
Farage moved to the left regarding mass immigration.
And it’s going to cost him.

If that change of view on migration is true it will most definitely cost him. I’m worried that this is going to end up splitting the “right” vote.
Recently he was able to attract a bunch of Tories to his party—maybe not the best move because Reform is becoming Conservative Party 2.0
I hadn’t been following him for the past few weeks - what did he shift on? What is his new policy?
bkmk
Restore Britain has been called ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’ by the Guardian, Reform and the whole host of soapless socialists over the last few days.
I cannot be clearer in our official party response.
We do not care.

Thats exactly what I’m thinking is the goal here. Not with Musk, over in the UK.
Sometimes the threat is necessary to get folks on the right to sing out of the same hymn book.
I used to think, “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” That thinking has given us the useless cadre of RINO turds we have here in our own country today. What difference, then, does it make whether the left wins the seats outright, or they win while some of their supporters are wearing our jerseys?
If you’re going to get screwed, better to know who it’s coming from instead of it coming as a surprise.
Rupert Lowe is clear like Trump.
Nigel Farage sounds like a politician although he says some right things.
I kind of feel like Farrage is one of those guys who likes to say thinks just to get people riled out, and watch the outrage. But when he has to step up and lead he’s begged off and now that he actually doing it, his principles seem to not match his rhetoric.
Their next election will be a real mess
At this point it’s merely rearranging the Titanic deck chairs.
I cannot be clearer in our official party response.
We do not care.
That’s so “Millwall” of him:
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don’t care
We are Millwall
Farage openly admitting that the reason he got rid of Rupert Lowe was because Rupert actually wanted mass deportations.
Straight from the horses mouth. Reform will not deliver. Restore Britain will. pic.twitter.com/u0oWWphC02— Steve Laws (@Steve_Laws_) February 17, 2026
