South African-born billionaire tech titan Elon Musk has once again waded into British politics to criticise Brexit boss Nigel Farage and to throw his weight behind a rival upstart party in the wake of Farage unveiling his party’s plans for radically transforming the UK immigration system and for mass deportations of illegals.
On Tuesday, Mr Farage became the first national party leader to vow that if elected, his government would repeal the Tony Blair-era Human Rights Act and withdraw Britain from the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which are regularly appealed to by leftist legal activists and attorneys to block the deportation of illegals and foreign criminals.
Under his “Operation Restoring Justice” platform, Farage also vowed to form a “UK Deportation Command” to remove all illegal aliens from the country, including back to countries like Afghanistan, and to pass an “Illegal Migration Mass Deportation Act” to strip the left-wing judiciary of powers to block deportations.
Additionally, the party took a page out of the playbook of President Donald Trump — a longtime ally and friend of Mr Farage — by saying that it would construct mass detention centres for deportations and look to make agreements with countries like El Salvador to house supposed asylum seekers rather the current scheme of accommodating them in hotels across Britain.
While the plan has faced attacks from Labour politicians and the legacy media for supposedly being too radical, Mr Farage also faced critiques from Tesla chief Elon Musk, who wrote on his X platform: “Unfortunately, the reality is that Farage will do almost nothing to protect Britain. That is obvious.”

Going even further, Musk appeared to endorse Advance UK, a party founded in June by Pakistani-born former Reform chairman Ben Habib, who left the party after being replaced as chairman in the wake of him failing to win a seat in parliament last year. Should the billionaire tech boss throw his considerable financial weight behind the upstart party, it could serve to divide the Reform vote, which currently stands at the top of the polls.
