The Nigel Farage Elon Musk feud has taken center stage in UK politics, after the billionaire tech mogul called for Farage to step down as head of Reform UK. Musk’s sharp five-word critique of Farage’s leadership stirred up major controversy, especially considering his rumored intention to donate $100 million to back the party.
Farage, however, wasn’t having it. In an interview with The Times, he firmly stated, “Nobody pushes me around, not even him.” That clear message set the tone for what’s now become a highly publicized disagreement.
Nigel Farage Elon Musk Feud Escalates with Leadership Clash
Tensions escalated after Musk, who has been leading President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) since January, took a swipe at Farage on X (formerly Twitter), claiming he wasn’t fit to lead Reform UK. The jab came not long after Musk endorsed far-right figure Tommy Robinson, further fueling the controversy.
Farage responded on social media: “Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.”
The feud deepened with Farage making it clear that he won’t back down: “You can’t bully me. I know what I believe is right and wrong. Nobody pushes me around, not even him.”
Nigel Farage Elon Musk Feud Highlights Immigration Divide
Beyond the leadership row, the Nigel Farage Elon Musk feud has spotlighted stark differences in views on immigration. Farage recently doubled down on his goal of “net zero immigration,” calling it a necessary solution to the country’s problems.
He claimed, “If we deport those who come illegally, the country will save five to seven billion pounds a year — nationally — and hundreds of millions more locally.”
When questioned if this echoed the mass deportation policies seen in the U.S., Farage cited former Australian PM Tony Abbott’s approach: “They towed the boats back to Indonesia. End of.”
Elon Musk, known for his tech empire and unfiltered takes, may have sparked another political firestorm — but Farage, ever defiant, seems ready to fight back.
