Nigel Farage confronted over Elon Musk calling for new Reform leader: 'How embarrassing was that?’

Nigel Farage was confronted over whether he considered it embarrassing for Elon Musk to have said Reform UK should replace him as party leader after his past support for the X owner.

Just days before the billionaire called for Mr Farage to step down, the politician described Mr Musk as a “hero figure” and welcomed a potential party donation from him.

Mr Farage insisted he “doesn’t get bullied by anyone” when questioned on the row in a BBC Radio 4 interview on Tuesday, 4 February.

“Since then, we've had a very cordial relationship... Elon Musk has an awful lot of opinions, some of which I agree with and some of which I don't,” he added.
