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.
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.
And that there literally was an inquiry. The Conservatives simply didn’t implement its recommendations.
This could be such a win for Labour. “We implemented the recommendations of the Child Sexual Abuse report the Conservatives swept under the rug!”
Who knows if they actually will, though.
What’s the story here?
Short version …we have a “grooming gang” (ie paedophile) problem in the U.K., many are Muslim, apparently there was an enquiry but the results got hidden, by the previous ruling party, the Conservatives.
Are the gangs affiliated with rich people getting access or just peasants trafficng peasants children for other peasants to abuse?
Or the angle here it got buried not to piss off Muslims? Why would conservatives care to “protect” the Muslims then?
Sorry this is late.
It appears to be peasants trafficking for peasants, as nothings come out. But bad stuff rarely comes out for the elites does it?
That angle is the one pushed here. I think that the conservatives wanted divide, and maybe a coverup, as we all know white people can be paedos, and there’s plenty of paedos or abusers amongst Tommy Robinsons fan boys.
The latter as I remember it. The allegations were that police were turning a blind eye to crimes under UK law for fear of “targeting” certain communities.
Tories tend to always support the police.
