Nigel Farage described Elon Musk as a “absolute hero figure” on Saturday - but also distanced Reform UK from far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who the X billionaire had endorsed, which appears to have angered Musk.
Has it always been the case, or is it just in the age of the internet, that we pay attention to every passing burp made by thin-skinned, entitled, narcissistic men in public life who feel a need to play out their tantrums and their 'Do you love me?' and 'Who's in charge?' neuroses in public? Aaaargh
We 100% pay too much attention to these clowns and they absolutely thrive off it. Though to be fair, until recently the plebs never had a direct line of communication to the elite of society
Thin skinned, entitled, narcissistic men have always been there. Pre internet we didn’t know their every thought/fart.
Twitter exacerbated their ability to reach millions. Perhaps the rest of the world should try to do a Brazil. Ban the twerp’s out pourings.
He dared to disagree with Musk. To a megalomaniac like Musk, that is a cardinal sin.
Musk is only interested in those he feels he can control completely - Farage, for all his many ills, has too much independence of thought and therefore must go.
Musk wants to be World Dictator. He is trying to buy up all the fascist parties AfD etc in the world. Trump will take his money and tell him where to go. Farage too obviously.
It probably won't hurt Farage in his quest for more former Tory voters. Musk is so erratic I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't change his mind - especially if Nige does a little fawning the next time he's greasing up to the Court of Trump
Do you think Musk knows Reform is a private company with one majority shareholder who can hire and fire at a whim? What am I thinking! Of course he doesn't.
At this point can we be certain that Musk isn't having some sort of mental episode or has some sort of cerebral trauma which is causing cognitive impairment? The speed with which he is launching himself more and more extreme positions is alarming for someone who once self-declared as a humanist.
Funny how most of the mainstream media and the BBC have to be shown the truth by another far right goon though isn’t it.
Him and his poisonous neo nazi views were platformed yet again by the BBC at the weekend.
As they are a Limitd company he could buy them out and install Tommy ten names as life President. Design some flags and uniforms, have a new march and salute. All things Tommy has already wanted.
Not sure Farage would sell? For the money yes. But the shame of admitting Reform failed? I doubt he’d sell. Tice would also need to agree to sell if musk wanted total control. Tice won’t sell
Its a private limited company, so while he can buy Farage out, it could only be if MF agreed to sell. He can't do it by a market buy out of public shares.
(Obviously put enough money on the table, NF will grab it - and probably then set up yet another company/party)
Musk doesn’t understand that Tommy Robinson would be toxic for Reform. The reason why Farage left UKIP was because he didn’t like UKIP becoming associated with TR.
Imagine the effective recruitment manager of the free world thinks the fagash Fuhrer isn't quite fash enough to be one of his employees... We're not gonna make it, are we?
Surely continually tweeting hatred, meddling in foreign politics and stirring culture wars isn’t the most efficient use of time for a government bureaucrat.
I think I can see one place where the newly formed DOGE could make a cutback.
This is a major problem now for Farage.
he legitimised Musk.
he basically gave his blessing to interfere in British politics.
even told his voters/members how good he would be to get involved[and backing].
he released the "rabid dog".
now he has to deal with the consequences when it "bites him"....
this can now lead to him losing his place[leadership] in REFORM.
his party could now chose money over loyalty[to him].
this is the beginning of factions rising within his party which lead to Tories downfall.
and no amount of spin or backtracking will save him as again he asked for Musk's involvement
He’s only saying that because he knows he can’t win.
I assure you he wants to promote someone more repulsive that can lead the far right! Someone with less baggage!
Seems to be on self-destruct now. I think he's landed in a heap of shit regarding his dealings with Russia and is desperately trying to manipulate his relationship with Trump to avoid consequences. But truth is, he's no genius and is in the process of fucking up spectacularly.
Exactly he got exposed really bad especially after his support to Tommy Robinson he is just trying to shift away the MAGA rage on H1B visas to the UK gang criminals but he is now losing even more support. Time will only expose him to more people
He just needs to keep running his mouth off. He can't hold it in. Hand him a spade and let him keep digging. He has a doomed odour about him. His businesses are still solvent enough, but Tesla's profits are starting to decline, Xitter is losing engagement. Another year from now things will be worse.
Agree the Electric cars industry in general has been slowed down due to customer unsatisfication with the quality of the products and i don’t think Tesla will keep up the same rate of profits as previous years
EVs in general are increasing sales. Tesla isn't. Plenty of people have positive experiences. I have a friend who does a YouTube channel about his EV as a retirement hobby.
What does "it take"? Can't help feeling Musk will say anything to further an agenda that perhaps he doesn't fully or consistently know himself. As ever with ppl, you have to know which part of their personality you're dealing with, and that's not always possible. Then u make do with fragments.
Meanwhile, megalomaniac Putin tries to steal countries from the East.
If they look at the maps with the Pacific as central, they might remember that their problem is with each other and using the rest of the world as their battleground won’t work.
You can't stand as an MP if you have served more than 12 months in prison. Though he could possibly stand as leader. If Musk thinks he has leadership qualities then that is a very poor judge.
she will not endorse Tommy Ten Names either - Jendrick might , nothing is too low for Honest Bob now but I doubt the Tory party would promote Jendrick now, so Musk may need to fund Bob as leader of UKIP.
Nobody can depose Farage from Refash , he owns the company.
Not part of Elons agenda. Taking up precious me time with Donald. Getting some of Elons attention time with Vlad. Who knows the workings of a ketheads mind?
He needs to keep his narcissistic, dangerous nose out of British politics. It's frightening enough for us over here - the prospect of the two megalomaniacs having so much power over the Western world very soon. 😡
What does ‘it take’ according to Musk I wonder? Take so do what, exactly?
I truly dread to think.
If his recent declarations are anything to go by, Musk’s brain really isn’t functioning very lucidly, is it?
When you have that much money you can buy as many drugs as you want. But then again, I’m sure you heard about the special ‘pharmacy’ that supplied Trump’s White House last time…so kindred spirits, eh?
He doesn’t even have to think about that, when you have that much money it just makes more money. He could never spend what he has in a score of lifetimes. He’s free to spend his time defaming and smearing those he doesn’t like (he’s not bothered by court cases) & imagining he rules the world.
I imagine Musk is trying to peel Farage away from Trump. I'm sure he will try to isolate Trump as much as he can. That's the way domestic abusers operate to gain control.
This is an even bigger shit show than we might have imagined!
Now Musk is diverting his attention to the Tories. $100 million will buy them what they want. Pay off will be the Oligarchs ruling the world not just the UK closely followed by Europe.
When he says Farage doesn’t have what it takes he means Farage won’t have the criminal Robinson near his company, Musk is dragging all the dead beats from under their rocks and want them to subvert the masses and anarchy will persue. He is evil personified.
BSky is just becoming a repost site for Musk's shit hole platform !
The Fascist right wing cunts don't need an account here, they have muppets spreading their shit for them promoting their bile !

What's worse is that the British government and politicians give it credibility by discussing it in HoC.
They undermine themselves.

... who's there?
Nigel
...Nigel who?
A week is a long time in politics.

In reality, both promote fascism. The only disagreement they have is, how quickly should the wheels turn.
(Obviously put enough money on the table, NF will grab it - and probably then set up yet another company/party)
That’s what the rift is about.
I think I can see one place where the newly formed DOGE could make a cutback.
Have a listen, please 🙏🤗

Makes about as much sense.
Welcome to 2025.
Oligarchs are playing the white supremacy game, world edition.
Farage will back down as he’s is absolutely driven by money
and power.
If the Greens got 10% of the coverage that fascists get....
And Josef Starlink is attempting a hostile takeover!
Conquered America, move on to its allies.
I mean fuck I can clearly see where this is this going. I can't be the only one? Can I?

Anyone notified Mr Tice? He'll be losing his mind
Reform unravelling commences here
🤭😬🤣
Or is a ‘big’ Tory twat about to defect…
Nobody can depose Farage from Refash , he owns the company.
Can someone photoshop this for me? Need Elon’s face there. I’m surprised no one has already done it, but nothing came up when I googled.
Then, perhaps not.
Silly sausages.
I don't get that.
Farage is a self-serving, lying, divisive, racist, dog-whistling pluto-populist, soulless asshole.....he's perfectly qualified!
Down with oligarchs.
I truly dread to think.

This is an even bigger shit show than we might have imagined!

Tempting
But is it worth risking a whole £1?
£1 is way too much, what about 30p?
10p a head?
you are feeding the monster
