Elon Musk on X stated that Nigel Farage lacks the necessary skills and should be replaced as leader of the Reform UK Party.

In a tweet, Musk stated that the Reform Party requires a new leader as Farage lacks the necessary qualities.

Farage, a member of the UK Parliament, disagreed.

"Elon is a remarkable individual, but I disagree with the notion that he is suitable for Reform. I maintain that Tommy Robinson is not the right fit, and I will never compromise my principles," he tweeted.

Musk has been advocating for Robinson, who is currently incarcerated.

Farage has stated that he does not want Robinson to join the Reform UK Party.

Farage stated that Robinson was not incarcerated due to revealing grooming gangs, but rather for disregarding court orders.

Musk wrote on X that he knows the person is in prison for contempt of court, but there is no justification for such a long prison sentence or solitary confinement.

Robinson's real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, reports indicate.

Nigel Farage: 'Our country is changing fundamentally'

If Trump had not won the 2024 presidential election, civilization would have been lost, according to Musk.
