Elon Musk ‘makes us cool’ and will help Reform win young vote to beat Tories, Nigel Farage says

ELON Musk is set to make Reform UK the cool party among young people which could be the key to winning the next election, Nigel Farage claims.

The tech tycoon has decided to back the British associate of Donald Trump and his expanding political group, with reports suggesting he might contribute a substantial £78 million donation to the party.

Musk – who has been a vocal critic of Sir Keir Starmer’s government – met with Farage at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago mansion this month.

Farage has since praised the billionaire and revealed how he could help Reform UK pull in young voters.

The MP described Musk as a “bloody hero” among the newer generation and praised his image and public persona, he told The Telegraph.

Farage said: “The shades, the bomber jacket, the whole vibe.

According to Farage, “Elon brings us a sense of appeal – his support greatly resonates with the younger generation, and this influence will continue to grow, which is just the beginning.”

Farage set high ambitions for his party and claimed the Tesla-boss would be the key to Reform’s potential success.

The MP believed the 53-year-old father of 12 would “help” Reform UK connect with newer generations.

Farage said: “Reform only wins the next election if it gets the youth vote. The youth vote is the key.”

He added: “And I think we’re beginning to get into that zone – we were anyway, but Elon makes the whole task much, much easier.”

Fragae added: “What matters with Elon isn’t just the money, it’s the kudos with the young people.

“He’s a bloody hero. Having him behind us, as strong as he is, is very important.”

Reports following Musk’s and Farage’s Mar-A-Lago meeting claimed the billionaire was ready to offer a huge £78 million donation to the British party.

The party leader denied the huge figure calling it “complete nonsense” but revealed Musk could still make a cash donation.

Despite this, the MP revealed that he would be willing to accept the billionaires money.

Farage mentioned to The Telegraph his willingness to receive financial support, stating, “Considering we are competing against two major parties backed by significant funding while we struggle with our membership fees, I would absolutely welcome the support.”

Musk has been no stranger to politics as he help bolster Trump to success in the November US elections as his super PAC donated nearly £94 million to the Republicans campaign.

The X-owner has now been handed a Washington job and is behind plans for a new Department of Government Efficiency, set to cut down red tape and government costs.

Farage said he aspired to bring some of those ideas to the UK with the billionaire’s help.

The MP added: “I’m hoping he gives us the blueprint, and the blueprint is how to cut the administrative state.

“The message from us to young people is we want the state to leave us alone.”

TITLE RACE

A huge row has sparked among the Conservatives and Reform UK over membership claims.

Farage’s clan claimed they have smashed past the Tories membership numbers this week.

A digital counter on its website hit 131,680 on Boxing Day, overtaking the numbers revealed by the Conservatives during their leadership race in November.

Farage said: “Reform UK are now the real opposition.”

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch hit back and branded the claim as “fake” and accusing Farage of “manipulating” supporters at Christmas.

The Clacton MP demanded an apology from the official leader of the opposition and could sue Badenoch following the row.
