Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s increasing influence in the United States as a key ally of incoming President Donald Trump and around the world has stoked concerns among far-right figures in the United Kingdom.

Warnings from far-right British politicians poured in Thursday after Musk posted a flood of messages on his X platform calling for the release from prison of far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who is known as a prominent far-right agitator in Britain, Bloomberg reported Friday.
For Musk, the world’s richest man, it was the latest example of his stepping into international politics, but for far-right Britains, it crossed the line.
“Several prominent Brexit-supporting politicians with links to Trump spent Thursday warning their Republican counterparts against following Musk’s endorsement of Robinson, saying it was a step too far,” according to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the views of both the Conservative and Reform UK parties, who were granted anonymity.
