Elon Musk has thrown his support behind Tommy Robinson while launching a scathing attack on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, dismissing him as “weak sauce who will do nothing.”
The billionaire Tesla owner said that Farage was unable to deliver meaningful immigration reform, while simultaneously showing support for far-right party Advance UK, led by Ben Habib, the former Deputy Leader of Reform UK.
The party was launched this year following Habib’s departure from Reform UK due to internal disagreements and a reported fallout with Farage and Zia Yusuf.
Musk wrote on X on Tuesday evening: “Advance UK will actually drive change. Farage is weak sauce who will do nothing.”

Musk is right. Farage is not going to get it done.
England will need to undergo a revolution. In the grand scheme of things, Farage is an intermediate figure.
I think Farage has what I consider the right ideas, to protect and preserve individual citizen rights in England, but, unfortunately, I do not think Nigel has the social influence that will inspire others to work with him.
Reform UK and Advance UK.
Looks to me like the opposition is already fracturing. Labour must be happy about that.
And what about the Tories? They’re probably all at their country clubs, pretending it’s still 1880.
He's more like Mitt Romney.
Instead he needs to be like Donald Trump.
Well I like Farage but he’s never going to deport meaningful numbers of immigrants.
If Farage doesn’t have the courage to stand with Tommy, you know he doesn’t have the courage to deport anyone.
He should realize that he doesn't have what it takes to be the next PM and endorse Tommy Robinson instead.
Farage is McConnel.
The only thing which is going to save England is very strong leadership — Tommy Robinson, someone like Trump, or Enoch Powell. Farage just isn’t committed in quite the right way.
He’s not willing to what needs to be done. He has said mass deportations isn’t “realistic”. He’s an opportunist, nothing but a typical politician. He sees weakness in his competitors and an opportunity to get elected.
But he considers the working class “all right-wing thugs”. He isn’t the answer.
Zia Yusuf, a British Muslim businessman, served as chair of Reform UK from July 2024 until his resignation in June 2025.
He was appointed to the role with the aim of professionalising the party and helping Nigel Farage become prime minister.
Yusuf resigned as chair after less than a year, stating that he no longer believed working to get a Reform government elected was a good use of his time.
His resignation followed a public dispute over new MP Sarah Pochin's call for a debate on banning the burqa, which Yusuf described as "dumb".
Although he briefly stepped away from the party, he later returned, citing exhaustion from working 11 months without a day off.
He is no longer the chair, having been succeeded by David Bull.
I say, who needs Zia in the party?
However, I seriously doubt that the British people would ever elect Tommy Robinson as their PM, but maybe Farage could use him in the party, and make him an ally he can count on in some roll. In time, the British people may even become amenable to electing Tommy Robinson, in the future.
Farage appears to come from an upper-class background.
You can say the same about Trump but he's one of us even though he's a billionaire.
They blew it when they rejected Enoch Powell.
Today? No.
Tomorrow? Perhaps.
The Overton Window will eventually shift in time.
Tommy Robinson is a far right thug.
Tomorrow he's the PM of the UK.
That’s basically what I said, but I also said that it might require Farage giving him some exposure, that he can mange & perhaps groom him, In the future, the Brits just may want him. Now of Farage surprises and does bring about significant change, he is more likely to serve another term. Then Tommy Robinson becomes even more attractive to keep the changes continuing.
So the possibility is there for Tommy Robinson to become the next PM.
I recognize that Tommy is a soccer hooligan. But that's a good thing because he knew that he couldn't trust the authorities.
