Last week the mega-donor Candy revealed that he will raise more than £40 million in donations now he has been appointed the Treasurer of Reform UK.
Candy said after holding a “personal conversation” with the Tesla founder Musk he said, “I don’t want to go too much into the personal side of it…But he, I think, would like to help Nigel and Reform and myself.”
In November, Farage said at a press conference, “Are Trump and Elon going to support me in the run up to 2029? Well, that’s what friends are for, isn’t it?”
Earlier this month Farage told GB News that the SpaceX owner has not “discussed with me” over any donation to the Reform UK party, he acknowledged that the Tesla boos is “very supportive” of his future aims.
Farage told the news outlet, “What I do know is that Elon Musk is very supportive of me, what I’m trying to do, and he thinks that if Reform do well in the UK, we can bring about the same kind of change that he intends to do with Donald Trump in America.”
