Nigel Farage said he did not want to “go to war” with US billionaire Elon Musk who said he should be replaced as Reform UK leader having previously backed him.

Farage doesn’t have what it takes,” Musk wrote on X, his social media site, on Sunday afternoon.

The Reform leader said he would be in the United States “for a good sort of four or five days” for Donald Trump ’s inauguration as president, during which time he would meet billionaire Mr Musk.
