One minute Elon Musk was talking about backing the Reform UK party leader, Nigel Farage, and then the next Musk is tweeting that Farage doesn't have what it takes. Apparently, this criticism comes because Farage doesn't want the controversial figure, Tommy Robinson in his party. Recently, Musk had shown support for Robinson.
This draws into focus the influence wealthy people like Musk have over politicians, and it is to Farage's credit that he's his own man and won't simply take orders.
For the record, Musk is wrong on this, the character Tommy Robinson is a rather loathsome individual, with a criminal record. He's no freedom fighter and has almost zero chance of leading a major political party in the UK.
