Nigel Farage responded to the recent fall-out, praising the billionaire for “bringing free speech back onto social media”.
It comes after Elon Musk posted: “The Reform Party need a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.” on X and endorsed Tommy Robinson, who is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court.

00:00It's called free speech. You can take it or leave it. Nobody has to take Elon Musk's advice.
00:05What I will say to you is this, that the run up to the 2020 presidential election in America
00:11saw free speech obliterated from social media. The pandemic, if you criticize lockdowns,
00:18you found your accounts were suspended, you were shadow banned, and what Musk has done,
00:22and you may not like everything he says, and I agree with that, what Musk has done is brought
00:26free speech back to the internet. I think he's a hero for bringing free speech back
00:31onto social media for billions of people in the world. Even Meta this week have completely
00:36changed track on where they were before as a result of what Trump has done, of what Musk has done,
00:42and I admire that.
