Elon Musk Criticizes Nigel Farage, Backs Rival Advance UK Party

Elon Musk has reignited a public feud with Nigel Farage by sharply criticizing Farage's plan for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants proposed by Reform UK. Musk dismissed Farage as "weak sauce who will do nothing," expressing skepticism about Farage's ability to enforce immigration laws effectively. Instead, Musk has thrown his support behind the far-right Advance UK party, led by Ben Habib, a former Reform UK deputy, whom Musk believes will bring meaningful change to Britain's political landscape. Farage's proposed "Operation Restoring Justice" includes repealing the Human Rights Act, withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights, and establishing a "UK Deportation Command" to facilitate deportations, but Musk argues these plans fall short. The rift between Musk and Farage follows a breakdown in their former alliance, with Musk previously meeting with Farage but later endorsing rival political figures like Rupert Lowe and Ben Habib. Reform UK officials have acknowledged Musk as a significant entrepreneur but maintain that disagreement between allies is normal in politics.
