The Tesla tycoon said Mr Farage, who founded the party and is credited with its recent surge in the polls, “does not have what it takes”.

His call for change comes as a bitter blow after days of Mr Farage fawning over the world’s richest man, describing him as “a hero” and claiming he makes Reform “look cool”.

The problem is that Reform UK is not a political party as such, but a privately held company. Unless Musk has persuaded the owners to sell their shares to him, he legally doesn’t get a say.
