Nigel Farage meets Elon Musk at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion amid rumours of $100m donation to Reform

1. Imagine if a British politician takes a picture with a Chinese oligarch who frequently comments on British politics and controls a high profile social media platform like TikTok, and then receive donation from them, this politician will be condemned, the oligarch will be sanctioned, and party finances will be investigated, and the social media platform banned. Why are we not doing the same with Farage and Musk?

2. The new Axis of Assholes. I hate this timeline, can we get off now?

3. Did someone challange the billionaires to fill the US gov with tosspots?… You know after the Tory arsehole challange…

4. Shouldn’t Farage be providing notice to allow an FCDO official to attend any meetings he’s making with other world leaders (I’d say Trump/Musk unfortunately count)? Or is that only for devolved governments, not non-government MPs?

5. With a massive social media network fine tuned to amplify his agenda. I am very uneasy about this.

6. Such a hard-working constituency, MP!

   I am sure the people of Clacton are thrilled.

7. That donation would essentially amount to a foreign government official trying to bring down the British government. It should be illegal.

8. Does he ever actually spend any time in the UK anymore?

9. I think Farage is too smart to actually want to be the PM. He’s a wrecker, disruptor and heckler-from-the-sidelines and absolutely not a policy maker. He campaigned for 20+ years to leave the EU and once the vote was in, did he pop up and start making suggestions for how to do it? No! He said ‘my work here is done’ and hid for a few years, coming back to criticise something else. That’s literally the one opportunity in his career where he could have made some positive suggestions instead of tearing down the ideas of others and offering nothing in return.

   I think he knows that and he knows he would be a total disaster as PM. It will be interesting to see what he does if his party actually does get a $100m donation from Musk.

10. looks like Musk is buying England. I myself welcome our great Overlord and want to assure him I can help him round up others if that would please his highness

11. This is what foreign interference in British politics looks like.

12. Funny about the indigantion around “Labour’s election interference” and yet there’s this…

13. Honestly this whole axis of evil between Musk, Trump, Reform and the general far right alliance building up between them and other nations terrifies me. I sincerely think this is the last bulwark of resistance working class people like you and I will ever have before they cement their power and turn us all in to peasants and serfs.

    They know full well with people losing faith in capitalism, the environmental disasters about to be unleashed, the waves of migration that will swallow us all, that they will never have a better chance of hoodwinking poor gullible voters and stealing every bit of wealth left to take. The wealthy are gearing up for the collapse of civilisation and making sure all their ducks are in a row beforehand. This will be the culmination of centuries of class war that most people don’t even recognise has been waged against us.

    Imagine thinking any of these people give a single fuck about you or your life and pursuit of happiness. They want you poor, working for pittance or dead. We’re all just tools for their profits and nothing more than that.

    I am not Labours biggest supporter but I pray they get things together in time for the next election and save us from Reform taking even a speck of power. We are all so fucked.

14. Farage being elected and not just remaining a flash in the pan clown proves this country is so unserious

15. Funny how the Right banged on for so long about liberal/left-wing conspiracies *fucking everywhere* trying to subvert democracy, and now seem absolutely totally fine with a media environment that is just openly lying to folks and partisan billionaires throwing money hand over fist at right-wing campaigns so they can have a free pass on things like environmental regulations that no one else gets.

    I mean it would be shameful but we’ve all been so aware of this blind but utterly rank level of hypocrisy for years so now its just become a fucking joke. A sick joke being played out on all of us.

16. Trump has terrible favourability over here, no doubt much lower than Farage has, can’t imagine that sleazing up to Trump is going to do him much good.

17. [removed]

18. The right kick off when the WEF billionaires want to do stuff, but it’s fine when it helps them out.

    Double standards are disgusting here.

19. Even Otto III would have a problem with the levels of Blasphemy exuding from this image. The cult of personality rivalling even medieval saints at this point. Just look at that Aryan ass painting and it’s elevation, even the sun/ halo behind Trumps head divinely ordaining all figures in the scene. Wtf is going on man.

20. This is not going to end well is it? Either a hideous fascist goverment in 5 years – or this disgusting oligarch Musk is going to try to sabotage our country.

    Actually makes me sick.

    Edit: Can we now have a serious conversation about legalizing guns in the UK? I have a feeling the civilian population might need them in a few years.

21. Doesn’t seem like that photo was taken in Clacton, does it?

22. You kind of wonder what musk’s endgame is, to be honest.

23. Elon Musk is literally just buying countries at this point. This won’t stop until the current bull market in US stocks cones to an end.

    Truly scary times. The world is dominated by a handful of people and guys like Farage are selling out.

    Musk isn’t stupid. This 100m will come at a cost. Voting for Farage is inviting Musk to come dictate life here.

24. I understand wealthy, tax-avoiding individuals voting for them, but I don’t understand the support from the working class. How can they look at Farage and think he has their best interests at heart?

    They look like cunts.

25. UK is a joke with their lack of action against this blatant manipulation by a foreign agent

26. I think as the Italians have already told Musk to stay out of their politics and he is backing a guy with absolutely no power at all in the UK and getting himself yet again involved in another countries politics he will be ripped to shreds in whatever way possible by every political leader because they will consider him a threat to their own democracy after this latest stunt especially as he was already warned not to interfere with other countries.
    I predict this will be the crunch for world leaders and Musk will lose absolutely everything.
    It’s completely his own fault.
    No good outcome can come from this.
    He’s literally just given them all exactly what they wanted…..evidence he has no political boundaries or respect for anyone.
    If trump dies or something then sorry but Musk is completely finished worldwide.
    I think probably the UK government will use this foreign interference to get Farage removed from parliament altogether for security reasons.
    Big mistake
    Absolutely terrible huge mistake
    This is going to end badly for Farage and for Musk

27. As someone who likes some of reforms policies this is disgusting. A foreign oligarch and government offical buying an MP, this should be classed as criminal interference, Farage should be telling him to fuck off and shove his money up his arse, but I doubt he will. Starmer should hit him continuously about this.

28. This is straight up interference by a foreign government in British politics. If he was Russian or Chinese we’d call for Farage to resign but here they are openly saying “We’re gonna do election interference” straight in out faces.

29. I take great pleasure in knowing I’ll be able to the turn the TV off when it airs Farage’s funeral

30. I don’t usually wish ill on people, but if Farage vanished then I wouldn’t be upset
