The leader of Britain’s Reform UK Party has in recent days been talking up a partnership with Elon Musk, billionaire tech boss and a key adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Elon Musk is reportedly planning to donate $100 million to Nigel Farage in a bid to shake up British politics ahead of the next election.
