Errol then went on to make a bizarre comparison saying Tommy Robinson is a better person than Nelson Mandela. A shocked Susanna bit back and said a lot of people would find his comment "utterly bizarre". The billionaire's dad said: "I don't see anybody weeping about any of the things Tommy Robinson has done.

"The government need to release Tommy Robinson [from prison]... it's insane what's happening in this country.". Co-host Ed Balls asked Errol if Elon wants to become Britain's Prime Minister after his fiery online tirades against the British government in the last week.

Errol laughed and said: "I think he needs to take a few steps down you know. I think he's alright where he is. "The situation in England now is interesting to all English-speaking people around the world. There's no question about it. "We were talking about Farage. He's out. I'm done with Farage.".

It comes after Elon and Farage's relationship broke down this week despite the Tesla owner previously saying he was "ready to donate £78million" to Reform. Elon met with Farage at his pal Donald Trump's Mar-A Lago home in Florida in December, where it is understood the "issue of money" was discussed.
