Nigel Farage cosies up to Elon Musk under Trump portrait as donation hint dropped
Share:
Nigel Farage held an hour-long meeting with billionaire X owner Elon Musk amid speculation the world's richest man could donate to Reform UK. The pair met at president-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida alongside the ex-Tory donor and property developer Nick Candy. Mr Candy was last week unveiled as Reform UK's new treasurer after ditching the Conservatives.
Mr Farage - on his sixth visit to the US since being elected as the MP for Clacton - posted a photo of the trio on X with a 1989 portrait of the incoming US President. After the meeting on Monday, Mr Farage and Mr 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.
