In a weird submit on his social media platform X, Mr Musk, 54, responded to a message by the official Restore Britain account seemingly mentioning the allegation, with the businessman posting: “THEY are the ones who want race extinction, which means THEY are the Nazis!”.

Mr Lowe, 68, threatened authorized motion after Ms Cunningham, 48, launched the assault on his social gathering on GB News.

Is Elon [Musk] going to support him? Probably. But you see, when he stood up and said ‘we’ve got to consider the mass deportation of entire communities, including those born in the United Kingdom’, that just moves way beyond the point of reasonableness, decency, morality.”

Restore Britain is in search of to place itself to the proper of Reform UK. Mr Farage has beforehand slammed minor events, saying yesterday: “There are, last time we counted, 11 parties that claim to be on the right or centre right of British politics, from the Heritage Party to goodness knows who else. There is only one proper brand of centre-right politics in this country, it’s call Reform. People think ‘oh, Farage has done it, we’ll just set a party up, it’ll be marvellous, we’ll sweep the next election’, it just isn’t as easy as that!”
