Elon Musk met with British politician Nigel Farage at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, discussing potential financial support for Farage's Reform U.K. party. Farage expressed optimism about Musk's interest in helping, although no donation was confirmed. Musk, who cannot personally donate to U.K. political parties, may contribute through his companies operating in the U.K. Farage stated they discussed money but did not formally request a donation during their meeting. Reform U.K. has gained traction, winning five parliamentary seats in July and capturing 14% of the vote. The party's recent polling suggests it could challenge the Labour and Conservative parties amid criticism of the current government.
