The posts supporting Robinson come as Musk has increasingly inserted himself into British politics: he met with Nigel Farage, the leader of the U.K.’s far-right Reform UK Party, in December, and Farage claimed Musk is giving “serious thought” to helping bankroll the British party.

Nigel Farage has distanced himself from Tommy Robinson after Elon Musk swung behind the jailed political activist, calling for his release. The Reform UK leader said Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is “not what we need”, as his party seeks to challenge Labour in upcoming elections.

Nigel Farage has vowed to “explain” to Elon Musk why he won’t co-operate with Tommy Robinson. The billionaire owner of X, who has hinted at a possible donation to Farage’s Reform, has shown support for the jailed activist on social media.
