How far do Elon Musk and Reform UK share a political vision? How far do Elon Musk and Reform UK share a political vision? Ben Quinn and Dan Milmo Immigration, culture wars and shrinking the public sector all feature highly on their agendas Sun 22 Dec 2024 15.41 GMT Last modified on Sun 22 Dec 2024 15.44 GMT Share The get-together last week of Elon Musk, Nigel Farage and Reform UK’s treasurer, Nick Candy, wasn’t just a gathering of Donald Trump fans. It was a meeting of minds. Immigration, culture wars and shrinking the public sector all feature highly on their political agendas, developed under the umbrella of Trump’s Maga vision. “We only have one more chance left to save the west and we can do great things together,” said Farage afterwards. It also revived speculation that Musk could donate as much as $100m to Reform UK, even if there are signs that such a move might actually be opposed by voters. A ban on wealthy foreign nationals being able to give large sums of money to British political parties was backed by 55%, according to a survey by Survation for the campaign group 38 Degrees. Asked specifically about Musk, two-thirds (66%) said he should not become influential in British politics• Политика. Even among Reform UK voters, 51% did not want to see Musk become influential. Money aside though, the ideological common ground between Musk and Reform UK is clear in some areas. Immigration Musk is a vocal critic of US immigration policy, making him a natural ideological bedfellow with Reform UK. Referring to the US-Mexico border this year, he said “unvetted immigration at large scale is a recipe for disaster” and called for a “secure southern border”. However, he also called for “greatly expediting legal immigration”, reflecting US tech industry concerns about labour needs. Immigration is a core concern for Farage and Reform UK. Its top pledge in its manifesto-style “contract” with voters during the UK general election this year was to freeze all “non-essential” immigration. The second pledge was to detain and deport illegal immigrants, including sending arrivals on small boats “back to France”. Shrinking the government Musk – whose grinding of an anti-government axe dates back to his own feelings that regulations have hampered his car making and space rocket businesses – has been given licence by Donald Trump to cut $500bn from the US federal budget. He and fellow billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy are heading a new Department of Government Efficiency , or Doge – named with a winking nod to Musk’s cryptocurrency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта of choice, dogecoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Dogecoin. Farage has been quick out of the gates to endorse this. Trump’s plans to radically slash the US public sector and appoint Musk to “sack vast numbers of people” were a blueprint for what needed to happen in the UK, the Reform UK leader said last month.

The topic is one that the billionaire has repeatedly returned to during tweets, waging other culture wars on diversity regulations. Farage placed issues and arguments around gender on the very first page of his party’s general election manifesto earlier this year, referring to a “divisive ‘woke’ ideology” that he claimed had captured public institutions. Reform UK pledged to ban what it calls “transgender ideology” in schools within the first 100 days of government. It also pledged to replace the Equality Act and says it would scrap diversity, equality and inclusion rules. “Clearly, Musk has got a bee in his bonnet about the trans issue in particular and the so-called woke mind virus in general, and that dovetails well with the Reform UK position on the culture wars,” said Bale. Net zero As the chief executive of the world’s leading electric car brand, Musk has strong environmental credentials. But Musk has made more ambivalent noises about green issues recently. In a discussion with Trump on X in August, Musk said it was “wrong” to vilify the fossil fuel sector. In terms of existential threat, Musk has also shown more interest in low birth rates and artificial intelligence as problems requiring the world’s attention. This was a change from his view in 2018 when he said that climate change• Политика » Геополитика » Международные отношения » Направления международного сотрудничества » Изменение климата • Метеорология » Климатология » Изменение климата was “the biggest threat that humanity faces this century”.

It has pledged to scrap the UK’s 2050 net zero target – where the UK removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it emits – because it is “crippling our economy”. The party also pledges to fast-track North Sea oil and gas licences, as well as doing more to enable fracking. Russia• Россия Musk has moved from being an initial supporter of Ukraine• Украина to a more ambiguous position, which has included trolling• Общество » Социальные группы » Субкультура » Сетевой жаргон » Троллинг • Коммуникации » Интернет-коммуникации » Сетевой этикет » Троллинг the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

While Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service was used to help Ukraine• Украина after Russia• Россия’s February 2022 invasion, there was also controversy last year when it emerged that Musk had refused a Ukrainian request to activate the system to assist in a surprise offensive. Farage has faced criticism over his claims that Ukraine• Украина could not defeat Russia• Россия and his questioning of a US decision to authorize Kyiv to use long-range missiles. Past comments by the Reform UK leader, such as that the EU and Nato• Политика » Геополитика » Военно-политические блоки » НАТО • Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на на » НАТО had “provoked” Russia• Россия’s invasion of Ukraine• Украина by expanding eastwards, have also put him at odds with other mainstream political parties in the UK.
