Elon Musk Backs Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain Party

Musk backed Rupert Lowe’s party after it pledged to dismantle the establishment, and the move deepened his feud with Nigel Farage.

  • On Sunday, Elon Musk endorsed Restore Britain on X, reposting messages from party leader Rupert Lowe and signaling his latest intervention in British politics.
  • Rupert Lowe founded Restore Britain last year after his suspension from Reform; the party's local affiliate Great Yarmouth First won all 10 seats it contested earlier this month.
  • Reform leader Nigel Farage criticized Musk for attempting to "split the right" in the Makerfield by-election, warning that support could benefit Labour candidate Andy Burnham.
  • The Survation study of 504 respondents in Makerfield places Andy Burnham at 43% and Robert Kenyon at 40%, with Restore Britain's Rebecca Shepherd at 7%.
  • Party leader Rupert Lowe vowed to "tear apart and rebuild" the state, targeting bureaucrats and Westminster, aligning with Musk's history of backing populist factions like Spain's Vox and Germany's AfD.
