Farage
and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy say they've met Elon Musk to discuss doing
'great things together'
Nigel
Farage, the Reform UK leader, and Nick Candy, his new party treasurer, have met
Elon Musk at Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, the party has announced.
It has not
said much about what Farage and Candy discussed with the world’s richest man,
but the news will revive speculation that Musk is planning a significant
intervention that could help Reform UK’s electoral prospects.
Musk denied
a recent report saying he was planning to give the party $100m. But doubtless
Farage would be happy to accept a smaller sum, and, because Musk has business
interests in Britain, UK laws intended to prevent foreign interference in
domestic politics might not get in his way. Musk also owns X, and was accused
of using it during the US presidential election to help Donald Trump.
In a
statement after the meeting, Farage and Candy said:
We had a
great meeting with Elon Musk for an hour yesterday. We learned a great deal
about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas.
We only have
one more chance left to save the west and we can do great things together.
Our thanks
also to President Trump for allowing us to use Mar-a-Lago for this historic
meeting. The special relationship is alive and well.
