Elon Musk's Father Confirms Renewed Support for Nigel Farage as Prime Minister Candidate

Elon Musk has reportedly renewed his backing for Nigel Farage as Prime Minister, marking a reversal from his earlier criticisms, according to statements made by Musk's father, Errol Musk. Errol praised Farage for showing strength and a tougher stance on political issues, which he and Elon view positively, contrasting with Farage's previously more accommodating approach. This endorsement comes amid Farage's positioning as a challenger to traditional party leaders like Keir Starmer and the Conservative government, particularly on issues like welfare spending and immigration. Farage has proposed scrapping the two-child benefit cap, a policy originally introduced by the Conservatives and popular among voters for its fairness, though it risks leading to tax increases. Despite past disagreements between Musk and Farage, including over free speech and online safety legislation, the two appear to be moving closer politically. Errol Musk also criticized the current UK government's actions, including the jailing of a young woman over a tweet and police withholding information, suggesting a broader dissatisfaction with the establishment.
