Nigel Farage said he did not want to “go to war” with US billionaire Elon Musk who said he should be replaced as Reform UK leader having previously backed him.

Nigel Farage has insisted he is still friends with Elon Musk and has spoken to him since his online attack that the Reform MP “doesn’t have what it takes” to lead his party. In an interview with Sky News, Mr Farage responded to the fall-out, saying: “Of course we’re friends. He just says what he thinks at any moment in time.”

Elon Musk has said Nigel Farage “doesn’t have what it takes” to lead Reform UK, just weeks after the pair had a “great” meeting in the US. The owner of Tesla and X – the social media site formerly known as Twitter – met with Mr Farage in December at US President-elect Donald Trump ’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which Mr Farage described as “historic”.

New polling in the U.K. shows Musk with a net approval rating of minus 51, with 71 percent feeling negatively toward the billionaire businessman.
