Is Elon Musk taking his political meddling international? [View all]

Tech billionaire Elon Musk met with British political disruptor Nigel Farage on Monday amid rumors that Musk may donate money to Farage’s anti-immigrant Reform U.K. party.

The rendezvous happened at the Mar-a-Lago estate of President-elect Donald Trump, whom Musk spent over a quarter of a million dollars to help elect this year. Reform U.K. has emerged as a threat recently to the Labour government and the leading opposition party, the Conservatives.

Farage left the meeting seemingly optimistic that Musk would chip in for the cause. He told BBC on Tuesday that Reform is in “open negotiations” with Musk and admitted that the two “did talk about money” while in Florida.

“He wants to help us, he’s not opposed to the idea of giving us money, provided we can do it legally through UK companies,” Farage told the outlet.
