Nigel Farage has claimed Elon Musk will help Reform UK win over young voters and beat the Conservatives at the next general election.
The Reform UK leader said the Tesla tycoon and social media mogul is "an absolute hero figure" for the younger generation.
Farage believes Musk would be a "huge help" in connecting youth voters with the party, amid rumours of a potential major donation from the world's richest man.
The comments come as Farage remains locked in a heated dispute with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch over Reform UK's membership numbers.
The former UKIP leader has hinted at possible legal action against Badenoch after she accused Reform UK of faking its membership figures over the Christmas period.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Farage emphasised Musk's appeal to younger voters, citing his distinctive style.
"The shades, the bomber jacket, the whole vibe. Elon makes us cool – Elon is a huge help to us with the young generation, and that will be the case going on, and frankly that's only just starting," he said.
Farage stressed that winning the youth vote is crucial for Reform UK's electoral success.
"Reform only wins the next election if it gets the youth vote. The youth vote is the key," he explained.
He added that while voters of all ages are needed, "if you get a wave of youth enthusiasm you can change everything."
The Reform UK leader claimed the party was already making progress with young voters, but "Elon makes the whole task much, much easier."
Speculation has emerged about a potentially massive donation from Musk to Reform, with rumours suggesting it could reach $100m.

Supporting immigrants over citizens will not transform the party. It will destroy citizens.
By the way, Nigel cleverly set-up Reform UK as a COMPANY (registered) like an LLC.
It means he can take Musk’s money legally but he better do it quick as Two Tier Keir may change the law
Can any Freeper accountants (CPAs) confirm the loophole?
After all anyone can buy stock I think this is how Musk ran his lottery in PA and other states , through an LLC and stock.
Clever I think and it applies in the UK but I think Starmer may rush something through to stop it....
Trump is my No. 1, but Musk quickly became my No. 2. I believe this partnership is going to MAKE MAGA successful. I’ve worked with some great people who came in from other countries. As long as the requirements are stringent, it’s for the good of the company. When the educational system produces enough graduates who haven’t had their characters and mental abilities degraded by the progressive educational system that’s ruined this country, we’ll need less imported workers. But America is the land of immigrants and we need to limit those immigrants to the ones we need, not the ones who need us.
MAGA is going worldwide. MEGA for instance!”
Great thought. And so true. We’re living in a time of positive revolution back to the principles that make for a great civilization.
I’ve worked best with actual immigrants, not temporary H-1B workers who are supposed to be only here a short while.
That’s an excellent point.
