Musk is a rich man-baby with more money than sense. It was he who cavorted in a childish celebration at one of Trump's rallies. Now he thinks he's a real political heavyweight who can influence others.
The truth is he had no interest in politics (and even voted Democrat) until he suddenly hitched himself to Trump's wagon a few months ago, hoping no doubt to benefit from the president-elect's economic policies. He also has a rather nasty right-wing side-line in gender politics, emanating no doubt from his non-relationship with his daughter (born male), claiming that he had been "tricked" into authorizing trans-related medical treatment for her when she was 16. He says she is dead to him; she claims he emotionally abused her as a child.
That this nasty piece of scum and Trump are buddies (probably only for a while) comes as no surprise to anyone.
Now Musk says Farage is no good as leader of Reform and should be replaced, probably because Farage, mindful of a potential backlash from the voters he is courting, has rejected Tommy Robinson, another nasty piece of right-wing work of whom Musk approves.
The real worry is that there are plenty of voters here in the UK who rather like the sound of Farage, Musk and Trump. It's incomprehensible to me, but there we are.
