Musk, a major donor and ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, shared the documentary with his more than 210 million followers on the X platform, which he owns.
Robinson is one of Britain’s most prominent far-right figures. His protests in London often attracted thousands of supporters. Robinson is a former member of the British National Party and ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the European Parliament in 2019.
Lawyers for the schoolboy, who successfully sued Yaxley-Lennon for defamation, previously said Robinson’s false documentary claims had had a “devastating impact” on him and his family and forced them to move home.
This is just Musk’s latest intervention into British politics. The tech billionaire has been involved in an ongoing feud with the ruling Labor Party since taking power last year. He branded Britain an ‘oppressive police state’ and claimed ‘civil war is inevitable’ in the country as violence swept the country last summer.
Musk’s endorsement of Robinson could also be potentially awkward for rebel British reform leader Nigel Farage, whose right-wing populist party has sought to distance itself from the fringes of the British right.
Musk has publicly expressed support for Farage’s party and met with him at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in December.
The X owner also faced backlash in Germany after supporting the far-right Alternative for Germany, calling it the country’s “last spark of hope.”
