“We had a great meeting with Elon Musk for an hour yesterday,” Farage and Candy said in a statement. “We learned a great deal about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas.”
“We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together,” the pair added. They also thanked Trump for allowing them to use Mar-a-Lago for the meeting.
The pair posted for a snap with Musk, standing in front of a portrait of a young Trump.
Led by Farage — an ally of president-elect Trump — Reform has steadily gained in opinion polling and is eyeing a serious breakthrough in U.K. politics ahead of the next general election in 2029. Farage’s team did not confirm Tuesday who had initiated the Musk meeting or give further details about what was discussed.
Asked earlier this month whether Trump and Musk would support his bid for Downing Street, Farage hinted he’d be at least asking for help. “Are Trump and Elon going to support me in the run up to 2029? Well, that’s what friends are for, isn’t it?” Farage said.
