The Tesla tycoon said Mr Farage, who founded the party and is credited with its recent surge in the polls, “does not have what it takes”.

His call for change comes as a bitter blow after days of Mr Farage fawning over the world’s richest man, describing him as “a hero” and claiming he makes Reform “look cool”.

Does he ever shut up?

He's finished his takeover of the US government and has moved to England and Germany.

Musk is an accelerationist. Their goal is to overturn the global order and rebuild it to their liking. It's all part of the plan.

Why would someone that’s “won” the current global order want to rebuild it? The much more likely thing he wants to do is entrench and protect his power by disrupting any government that might challenge him.

Rebuild doesn't mean start again to improve. It means change the system to his benefit.
