Elon Musk’s X ‘Becoming Very Dangerous Place’, Says Nigel Farage
Farage said the abuse on X is appalling and warned that Reform UK’s minority candidates face a dangerous online environment.
- On Monday, Nigel Farage criticized the Elon Musk-owned platform, describing online abuse directed at Reform candidates as "utterly appalling in every way."
- Farage previously championed Musk, with reports indicating Musk weighed a $100m donation to Reform; their relationship deteriorated as Musk now endorses Rupert Lowe's party, Restore Britain.
- The Reform leader claimed that if this abuse targeted candidates from more established parties, the media would be "in total uproar," describing minority candidates as "quite remarkable."
- Farage warned that the Elon Musk-owned platform is becoming a "very unpleasant and dangerous place," as the Information Commissioner and Ofcom investigate Musk's companies regarding misinformation and the chatbot Grok.
- Extreme misinformation has appeared on the Elon Musk-owned platform since Musk took over, with investigations focusing on data protection compliance; critics note the irony of Farage complaining about toxicity after previously supporting Musk.
