ELON Musk’s father Errol has said that Nigel Farage has “shown his metal” and indicated that his son has returned to being a supporter of the Reform UK leader.
Errol also criticised Sir Keir Starmer for jailing Lucy Connolly and backed the police in releasing more information about suspects earlier.
He said Elon and Donald Trump get on very well and went on to talk about being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Errol told GB News: “I did say a few months ago, when I was watching the various things going on in the UK, that I thought he would make a great cabinet minister and not particularly a great Prime Minister. That was actually…my son did the same with him, a little way of, sort of putting a little bit of fire under him.
“And so he’s certainly responded well and pushed himself forward with much more strength. We look at him in a much better light now, right? So, I’d say yes, he’s all right. It’s all right.”
Asked if Farage could be the next Prime Minister, Musk said: “He’s showing his metal. Previously he was a little bit too accommodating, I would say, and he’s stopped being accommodating. And that’s what people want.”
On the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley saying that more information could be released on suspects to the public earlier, Musk said: “Anything that helps, surely, especially in such a highly populated country as this, to make people aware of obviously anything you can do, anything that will improve circumstances, must be done.
“Certainly, the police withholding information, well, that’s crazy. They must provide whatever information they can.”
Asked about the jailing of Lucy Connolly over a tweet during the unrest over the Southport stabbing attack, he said: “The jailing that that young woman makes no sense at all. I mean, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it’s England. I can’t believe a lot of the things that I read that Starmer and company are doing.
“It’s hard to believe. And the excuses for doing these things are so flimsy that there’s no way a person can accept them.”
