Elon Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader, saying he “doesn’t have what it takes”, just weeks after the pair enjoyed a “historic” meeting at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

In a post on X on Sunday, Musk said: “The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.”

The comments came after Farage distanced himself from Musk’s support for the jailed political activist Tommy Robinson, saying he was “not what we need” for Reform.

Farage has since responded to Musk’s comment in a post on X, writing: “Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.

EDITING to note that I just edited the thread title/headline to change "replaced Reform leader" to "replaced as Reform leader" since The Times finally fixed the mistake in their headline.

1. He really does want to rule the world, doesn't he?

Which country does he plan to try to interfere with next?

[Harker]

2. I'm going with Denmark (over Greenland.) n/t

3. Not sure. He might be busy for a while with the UK, Canada, France and Norway, and his latest

posts suggest he wants all Democrats out of Congress since they "sully" it.

Busy little drug-addled man...

EDIT: And he's going after Germany, too. Forgot that somehow...

6. It'll be a NATO country...

Naturally.

There seems to be a lot of it going around.

4. He's backing the neo-nazis in German too. IMO he's watdhing too many...

James Bond movies...making him think he's an arch villain who can take over the world.

He needs to stick to his knitting as Tesla seems to going down fast.

7. This is why the ICC was created.

Musk should be dragged into the The Hague. He is a global criminal and should be dealt with like one.

8. Sounds like it is time

For Elmo to be sanctioned by the UK and Germany for election interference.

[GiqueCee]

9. Musk is a psychopath...

... and he will overplay his hand. The severity of the repercussions should be commensurate with the magnitude of his transgressions.
Interpret that as you will.

10. Yes

He's erratic and fickle.

"The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success."

"Mr. Jones, are we ready to release our new software?"
"Yes, sir. As requested, it's full of bugs, which means people will be forced to upgrade for years."
"Outstanding."

"Mr. Wallace, call the President. Tell him if he doesn't sign the bill lowering the cable rates, we will release the video of him with the cheerleader in the Chicago motel room. ... And after he signs the bill, release the tape anyway."

Will Putin push the button on Musk?
