Elon Musk Considers Supporting Reform UK to Oust Keir Starmer Before Next UK Election
Jan 9, 2025, 11:00 AM
Elon Musk has been privately discussing strategies with allies to remove Sir Keir Starmer as UK prime minister before the next general election, according to reports from the Financial Times. Musk, a key confidant of US president-elect Donald Trump, is exploring ways to destabilize the UK Labour government beyond his critical posts on social media. His interest stems from a belief that Western civilization itself is threatened. Musk has considered supporting alternative political movements in the UK, particularly the right-wing populist Reform UK party, to force a change in leadership. He has also expressed dissatisfaction with the current leadership of Reform UK, suggesting that the party needs a new leader and has considered Rupert Lowe as a potential replacement for Nigel Farage.
