Elon Musk vs Nigel Farage

​

It started in early January when Elon Musk posted this on X.

Now Musk did not explain his precise reasoning for this but Farage himself suggested this was due to a disagreement over Musk’s support for Tommy Robinson. At that point Robinson was in prison. Farage said Musk’s comment was “a surprise”, but that he would “never sell out my principles”.

Not sure which “principles” he was being asked to sell out, but Tommy Robinson has been to the fore in calling out Pakistani Rape gangs and the widespread abuse of young girls in Muslim dominated communities.

Shortly after this exchange with Musk, Farage sat down and did an interview in which he ruled out mass deportation of illegal migrants.

Clear enough?

Today, Nigel Farage announced that he supports mass deportations of around 650,000 illegal migrants by 2034.

Elon Musk was watching and he then tweeted this.

The reason he did this was this social media post by Rupert Lowe.

“Farage has just attacked me for backing mass deportations – let me be clear about what happened. What he is referring to is my support for removing foreign/dual nationals who were aware that their husband/brother/uncle/son was raping vulnerable young white girls on an industrial scale.

If they knew, and did nothing, then yes. They should be removed from our country. I make absolutely NO apologies for stating that. I do not want such evil walking our streets. Deport them all. If that results in entire communities being deported, then that is what must happen. Obviously. The number is irrelevant. Everyone who knew and did nothing must go. If a Pakistani woman knew that her husband was raping a young white girl, facilitating it? Then yes – she should go back to Pakistan with her husband. It’s shocking that Farage doesn’t agree.

At a Reform event in Essex, Farage even removed the line ‘mass deportation’ from my speech. He later told the Telegraph he thought it was ‘a very grave, dark and dangerous use of language.’ What’s changed?

At the heart of this is a conflict.

On the one side you have Elon Musk, Ben Habib, Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson. On the other is Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf.

Farage has constantly changed his opinion this year. One moment he was against mass deportation, now he is in favour. One moment he claimed he would set up an inquiry into the rape gang crisis, then he did nothing. Rupert Lowe set it up instead.

Final word goes to Elon Musk…look what he is posting and who he is retweeting.

And in case there is any doubt of the rift with Farage, there was this!

It is clear that Elon Musk has zero confidence in Nigel Farage even on the day that Farage presents the Reform plan on dealing with immigration!
