From Breitbart: Tech billionaire Elon Musk has called for Brexit leader Nigel Farage to be replaced at the helm of the Reform UK party after previously expressing support for the longtime Trump ally. Farage, meanwhile, has vowed to not compromise on his principals.
Just weeks after meeting with Mr Farage at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, the world’s richest man has apparently had a change of heart towards arguably Britain’s most impactful politician since the Second World War, having successfully led the remarkable campaign to see the UK leave the European Union in 2016.
“The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes,” Musk wrote on X.
Prior to the post, there had been speculation that Musk intended on making a large donation to Reform, however, it now appears that the billionaire may be looking for significant control over the party, including over its leadership.
Musk has been actively posting about U.K. politics over the last several days. He has rightfully drawn attention to some seriously alarming situations regarding child rape incidents in the U.K..
Musk has also spoken out against the imprisonment of English activist Tommy Robinson, who has been thrown in prison for repeating ‘libelous statements’ in public against a Syrian refugee.
Musk then became angry when Farage said he would not welcome Robinson as a member of the Reform Party, and is now calling for Farage to be ousted.
Farage, a staunch Trump supporter long before Musk ever came around, responded, “Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree. My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles.”

The big conflab has now created another huge debate between conservatives as some are angry that Faraage has denounced Robinson, while others are angry that Musk turned on Farage.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) pushed back on Musk, writing, “I respectfully disagree. Nigel Farage is a true hero—exactly who the UK Reform Party needs. Without Farage, there is no Reform.”

Raheem Kassam, a former Farage aide, fired back at Musk, “You’re a fucking moron.”
You’re a fucking moron.

His dismissal of Tommy Robinson is a disgrace.
I say let Tommy lead the party.

I think the UK needs more warriors like Tommy Robinson.

Meanwhile, Musk may have some legitimate concerns about Nigel Farage.
A prominent X user, RadioGenoa, has been highlighting the growing Muslim population in the United Kingdom, and how it is fast taking over.
RadioGenoa just posted a video of Farage declaring that the Reform UK party must embrace Islam to win.

“The chairman of Nigel Farage’s party, Reform UK, is Zia Yusuf, a Scottish-born Muslim man of Sri Lankan origins. This explains many things,” RadioGenoa also pointed out.

Another post features a Muslim man declaring, “Islam is here to stay!”
“Islam will prevail in UK. The British patriots will fail. Submit yourselves now to Allah!” It sounds like a threat. British people need to wake up now otherwise they will be forced to immigrate to other countries. pic.twitter.com/2tk5z1z1ej
