Did he want to dump Farage? I thought he wanted Farage to let Tommy Robinson join reform in return for a large donation. > It would also be history repeating itself since Farage's old party went from winning elections to being a complete irrelevance when Farage "retired" and the hooligans joined IIRC the trigger for Farage to leave that party (he had already resigned as leader) was the new party leader wanted to form an alliance with Tommy Robinson's lot.

Musk turned on Farage: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70ep8lp4jjo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70ep8lp4jjo Which came as a surprise to Farage who had previously welcomed and endorsed Musk's desire to interfere in UK politics: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1kez8d2dygo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1kez8d2dygo

> Did he want to dump Farage? He wanted Farage to bend all the way over. Farage refused so Elon tried to oust him, completely misunderstanding that the Reform party is Farage. It'd be like if Elon had gotten in a spat with Trump during the election and tried to swap him out for Vivek as the head of MAGA.
