LONDON ¨C Elon Musk said Nigel Farage should quit as leader of Britain¡¯s right-wing Reform U.K. party in an abrupt withdrawal of support by the U.S. billionaire for the Brexit campaigner who is trying to shake up the British political establishment again.
¡°The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn¡¯t have what it takes,¡± Musk said on his social media platform X on Sunday, a few hours after Farage described him as a friend who made Reform look ¡°cool.¡±
Musk ¡ª a close ally of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump ¡ª had seemingly backed Farage and posed for a photograph with him last month.
