Elon Musk’s Farage meeting renews reports he could fund Reform UK
The Guardian ^ | Dec 17 | Ben Quinn

Elon Musk has met Nigel Farage and Nick Candy, Reform UK’s new treasurer, at Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, reviving speculation the tech billionaire could fund the hard-right party.

After the meeting on Monday, Reform released photos of Musk sitting with Farage and Candy, and standing with them beneath a portrait of a young Trump at the US president-elect’s Florida home.

The party released a statement by the Reform leader and Candy in which they said they had met Musk for an hour.

“We learned a great deal about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas,” it added. “We only have one more chance left to save the west and we can do great things together. Our thanks also to President Trump for allowing us to use Mar-a-Lago for this historic meeting. The special relationship is alive and well.”

Musk, who has waged an increasingly personal campaign against Keir Starmer and the Labour party, earlier this month denied a report that he was planning to make a £78m ($100m) donation to Reform.

However, there will now be increased speculation that he could intervene in UK politics and help Reform’s prospects before next year’s local elections.

Writing in the Telegraph on Tuesday night, Farage said: “There is little doubt that Musk’s contribution to the scale of the Trump victory is not to be underestimated. I have come home with copious notes of how they increased the turnout, voter registration and so much more, and all of this I intend to implement as part of the professionalisation of our party.”

Farage said Musk “described the Labour and Conservative parties as the uniparty and left us with no doubt that he is right behind us.

Some far left British media outlet lied and claimed Musk had given Farange $100 million.
Farange denied it and laughed when some crazy media woman asked him about it.
British legacy media hate Trump even more than US legacy media.

Why waste the money? Europe is becoming increasingly irrelevant. We need to shift our focus over to the Pacific. That’s where America’s existential threat exists.

Musk’s grandmother was English. He was also quick to correct someone who said he was an Afrikaner by describing himself as an English/British South African.

Musk has an emotional connection based on family ties, as does Trump via his Scottish mother.

Seems the UK is a mostly muzzie place these days, why send a dime to them?

Maybe if they clean the roaches out.

Yup. It is amazing, and sad, how many here are short sighted and uninformed.

Not even the capital. Muslim population in London is 12%. Nationally it's between 6-7%. Given that 14% of the UK population live in London, it's not hard to work out that the population density of Muslims in the rest of the country is very much less than 6%.

England is not a big country. And you don’t need anywhere near a majority Muzz pop to wreak havoc. A small handful of nasty Muzzies changed the world forever on 9/11. Follow Radio Genoa on X if you want to see what’s being done to England and the rest of Western Europe.

Huh????

6.5 % of the UK are Mohammedan -- how in any way is the "mostly Muzzie"???

And note that is it not increasing that drastically as the scare media tells us

And yes, Mohammedans even at 0.1% are a problem
