“Free Tommy Robinson!” the billionaire entrepreneur and adviser to President-elect Donald Trump posted to his X social media network Thursday. Musk first started replying to Robinson on X in August, but that ramped up significantly this week when he began posting about Britain’s “grooming gangs” scandal. In addition to his support for Robinson, Musk has also professed support for Nigel Farage, the British Trump ally who leads the anti-immigration Reform UK party. While certainly hard right, Reform, which has five parliamentary lawmakers, is considered a far more mainstream force than Robinson. “What we know is that British politics has already been damaged,” he said.
