Elon Musk is putting his nose in foreign politics yet again, but this time he's setting a target on MP Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K.'s far-right Reform Party.

"The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn't have what it takes," Musk wrote in a post on X Sunday.

Farage, a key figure in Brexit, shared the post, commenting, "Well, this is a surprise."

"Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I'm afraid I disagree," Farage continued.
"My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles."
