Last year when Elon attacked Farage, I vehemently disagreed with him. Now, I largely concur with a caveat. Nigel will be the next PM but he can't lead on the issues. He's too terrified of the political establishment. Advance UK is needed to push him in the right direction. https://t.co/EYRqJa9dh1

Last year when Elon attacked Farage months ago, I vehemently disagreed with him. Now, I largely concur with a caveat. Nigel will inevitably be the next Prime Minister but he doesn't have what it takes to lead the issues. Advance UK is needed to push him in the right direction. https://t.co/EYRqJa9dh1
Elon Musk said on 26 August that he is backing the fledgling political party Advance UK, led by businessman and former European Parliament member Ben Habib. In a post on Musk’s X account, the Tesla and SpaceX chief wrote that “Advance UK will actually drive change,” contrasting the group with Nigel Farage, whom he described as “weak sauce who will do nothing.” Musk’s endorsement gives the little-known movement the public support of one of the world’s most prominent entrepreneurs and the platform offered by his 225 million social-media followers. The intervention, delivered less than a year before the next scheduled UK general election, adds an unexpected twist to Britain’s political landscape, where Farage has been positioning himself as a challenger to the Conservative and Labour parties.
