Reform Party leader Nigel Farage and party treasurer Nick Candy met with tech mogul Elon Musk at President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, December 16. “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,” the pair said in a statement.
Farage is a longtime ally of President-elect Trump, having campaigned for him during his first run for the presidency in 2016. Trump, in turn, was one of the few international leaders to lend his weight to Farage’s efforts to secure Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) the same year.
“We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together. Our thanks also to President Trump for allowing us to use Mar-A-Lago for this historic meeting. The special relationship is alive and well,” Farage and Candy, previously a major donor to the notionally center-right Conservative Party, said of the meeting.
Musk, who is of partly British descent, has clashed frequently with Britain’s far-left prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, accusing him of presiding over a system of “two-tier” justice. He is rumored to be considering finding a way to support Farage’s efforts to supplant Starmer’s Labour Party—within the bounds of electoral finance laws—at the next British general election, which must be held no later than 2029.
Responding to a post shared by Farage of himself and Candy with Musk at Mar-a-Lago on the X platform, captioned “Britain Needs Reform,” Musk responded, “Absolutely.”
