No. But client journalists seem to love the idea of Musk controlling the UK.

[@jackdubz4247]

It's a problem if the British public standby and allow foreign billionaires to privatise our democracy and turn political parties into franchises. Reform UK Party Ltd should not be the model.

Prime example of why uncontrolled capitalism and the concentration of wealth in the hands of one person can create major problems and it will only get worse now that Trump has gained power.

This will just turn off UK voters. Who actually likes Musk? Just makes Reform even more grubby.

The donation would be made through a UK based company not from Elon personally. It would be also rather amusing to cap donations at £100k given Keir Starmer has had more than that on his own from one donor.
