Some Republicans were outraged in recent weeks after Tesla CEO and social media tycoon Elon Musk defended the use of H-1B visas.

Yet Musk's political fights aren't limited to the United States, as he recently declared that the United Kingdom's conservative Reform Party needs a new leader. 

Row follows meeting at Mar-a-Lago

According to Breitbart, Musk took aim at Nigel Farage in an X post this past weekend, writing, "The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes."

Farage gained prominence for his decades-long fight to have Britain leave the European Union, a goal which was achieved following the 2016 Brexit referendum.

He subsequently became head of the Reform Party, under whose leadership it picked up five seats in the House of Commons during last year's general election.

Farage is also known as a longtime supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, having recently met with Musk and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance at Trump Mar-a-Lago estate.

Musk and Farage clash over Tommy Robinson

However, Breitbart noted how Musk and Farage have clashed over whether to support conservative activist Tommy Robinson, who is currently in jail for a documentary he made about Syrian refugees.

While Musk has signaled support for Robinson, Farage has attempted to distance himself and Reform UK from the controversial figure.

Farage answered Musk's statement about his leadership in a post on X, writing, "Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree."

Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.

My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles. https://t.co/V7iccN6usS

"My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles," Farage went on to declare.

Musk attacks British prime minister for ignoring Muslim rape gangs

Meanwhile, Musk has not limited himself to going after Farage, as Fox News reported that he accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of turning a blind eye to crimes committed by largely Muslim rape gangs.

A review in the city of Rotherham found that children as young as 11 had been "raped by large numbers of male perpetrators."

Starmer hit back with a statement on Monday, saying, "Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and wide as possible, they’re not interested in victims, they’re interested in themselves."
