The two appeared to be allies when they were photographed together at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last month.
But after Farage distanced himself from far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson, the billionaire parted ways with the British politician.
Musk is a passionate supporter of Robinson, the founder of the far-right English Defense League, who is currently in prison in Britain for contempt of court. The controversial politician has become a divisive factor within recent reforms, with members sharply divided over whether to support or reject him.
Earlier this week, the party’s 2024 candidate for London mayor, Howard Cox, quit Reform after clashing with fellow officials over support for “what (Robinson) is fighting for”.
Outgoing reform lawmakers are highlighting rifts within the party and calling on former co-deputy leader Ben Habib to take the position. Habib considers Robinson a “political prisoner” and Musk recently reposted several messages calling for his release.
In a media appearance on Friday, Farage said he had no intention of resigning and characterized his critics as members of a “rogue cabal” who had not been properly investigated.
He added that he has remained “in touch” with Musk and is “still friends” with the tech mogul.
