Nigel Farage has said he and Elon Musk are still friends but warned he "can't be bullied" after the Tesla boss called for a new Reform UK leader.
It comes after the tech billionaire said on his social media site X last week that the MP "doesn't have what it takes" to lead his party.

The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 5, 2025
Mr Farage added: "Look, he said lots of supportive things. He said one thing that wasn't supportive. I mean, that's just the way it is."
When asked if he was afraid to criticise Mr Musk the MP for Clacton said the situation was "the opposite", and he openly disagreed with him as regards far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Mr Farage said: "What he [Musk] was saying online was that effectively Tommy Robinson was a political prisoner and I wouldn't go along with that.
"If I had gone along with that, he wouldn't have put out a tweet that was against me.
"By the way, you know, I can't be pushed or bullied or made to change by anybody.

Farage and Candy said in a statement afterwards: "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."
They added: "We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together."
