Elon Musk has said Reform UK needs a "new leader" because Nigel Farage "doesn't have what it takes".
The X owner posted the tweet on Sunday following days of headlines over his comments about the historical grooming scandal that took place across UK towns and cities more than a decade ago.
Although Mr Musk is in agreement with Mr Farage and the Conservatives that there should be another national inquiry, a dividing line has emerged between the tech billionaire and the Reform leader over the former's support for jailed activist Tommy Robinson.
Shortly after Musk's post, Mr Farage said: "Well, this is a surprise!
"Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.
"My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles."
...
His comments about Mr Farage will be embarrassing for Reform, who have been courting the billionaire and soon-to-be efficiency tsar of the incoming president-elect Donald Trump.
I never sell out my principles.
Says the man who has solidly sold out the country to fossil fuel backed climate skeptics and to murkier backers (possibly even Russia) over Brexit.
Selling out his country to Russia is a matter of principle for Farage, and he'd never sell out his principles.
Tony Robinson was active in the British national party, an openly fascist organisation. He's now serving an 18-month prison sentence. If Musk is supporting Robinson, and says Farage "doesn't have what it takes" because he doesn't support him, he's saying that Farage isn't right-wing enough.
Tommy, not Tony. Tony Robinson is a national treasure best remembered for Black Adder, Maid Marian and her Merry Men and Time Team.
Interesting that the Cons are calling for a national enquiry now in-spite of the fact that they were in power after and during the grooming happening.

Well that betrayal didn't take long.
We'll have the reanimated AI powered corpse of Oswald Moseley running things by the next election.
Is Musk going to run for Reform leader? Claim some vague British connection via South Africa?
Elon Musk says 'Farage doesn't have what it takes'
Well duh.
But given his desperate plea to the King. Requesting him to force an election.
Nor does Elon, apparently. He needs to beg for old feudal power structures to help him win his desires.
