Nigel Farage has revealed that Elon Musk is “not against giving us money” following their meeting at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
The Reform UK leader met with the X owner and new party treasurer Nick Candy for an hour-long discussion yesterday.
While addressing speculation about potential donations to Reform UK, Farage said negotiations about financial support would continue, though no sum would match the “ludicrous telephone numbers” previously reported.
The meeting comes after recent rumours that Musk could make a donation of £100 million donation to the party.

Nigel Farage said: “There were two things that we talked about, number one really fascinated me. This was the margins by which Trump won in the seven key swing states.
“The person behind that was one Elon Musk, I spent an hour going through wit1h him what his strategy was, how he got new voters registered that weren’t on the electoral register, how he used various tech tools to get out the vote on the day.

“There’s some revolutionary stuff here, and I have pledged to professionalising Reform UK. I took copious notes yesterday. I’ve learnt a huge amount.
“He will help us, X will help Reform UK in the election. He’s already given me considerable help with targeting voters, with understanding the process from start to finish, with reaching disaffected communities – who frankly feel there’s no point voting for anybody. Just to get them to agree with you or to like me on TikTok or whatever, is not enough.
“You’ve got to get them registered. You’ve got to know who they are. You’ve got to get them to vote.
“Inevitably, given all the press stories, we did discuss money now that’s a negotiation we would go back and have again. He is not against giving us money.

“He hasn’t fully decided whether he will. If he does, it wouldn’t be anything like the ludicrous telephone numbers quoted in the Sunday Times.
“But the most important thing is this, this is what Musk said to me, he said that British politics now has no party.
“There is very little to choose between a Labour and Conservative parties, and he genuinely fears that the mother country of the English speaking world is frankly going down the tubes.
“He agrees that Britain needs Reform. He is right behind me.”

Asked if it could be a six figure sum, Farage responded: “Who’s to say? Wait and see how this all ends up.”
Earlier this month, Musk had engaged with Farage on X, enquiring about Reform UK’s next “electoral opportunity.”
Musk is also set to play a significant role in the incoming Trump administration, co-running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In a joint statement following the meeting, Farage and Candy said: “We had a great meeting with Elon Musk for an hour yesterday. We learned a great deal about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas.”
The statement continued: “We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together.”
