Tech billionaire Elon Musk is considering a large donation to Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, according to the British lawmaker himself. Farage revealed that he met with Musk at Mar-a-Lago and discussed financial support for his party, which is positioned as a hard-right alternative to the Labour and Conservative parties.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk is in talks with UK anti-immigration firebrand Nigel Farage about donating to his hard-right party, the British lawmaker has said.

Musk “described the Labour and Conservative parties as the uniparty, and left us in no doubt that he is right behind us”, Farage added.

Reform took support from both Labour and the Tories, and the Brexit cheerleader has said it can win the next election in 2029 – although Britain’s voting system favours the two main parties. Newspaper reports have suggested that Musk is preparing to donate up to US$100 million to Reform, but Farage told the BBC on Tuesday that the pair did not discuss numbers. “He wants to help us, he’s not opposed to the idea of giving us money provided we can do it legally through UK companies,” he told the broadcaster. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk and Farage – the MP for Clacton, east of London – are both ardent supporters of Trump. Musk spent at least US$270 million to help the Republican win the US presidency, according to recent federal filings, making him the country’s biggest political dono
