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 mogul has thrown his support behind Donald Trump’s British pal and his growing party after reportedly considering dropping a huge £78 million donation to the group.

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

“Elon makes us cool – Elon is a huge help to us with the young generation, and that will be the case going on, and frankly that’s only just starting.”. 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.
