Who is Rupert Lowe? From unpopular football chairman to Musk’s candidate to lead Reform after Farage fallout
Elon Musk called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader – and has since appeared to endorse Rupert Lowe, the Great Yarmouth MP, as his possible successor.
The US tech billionaire turned on Mr Farage after the party leader distanced himself from Mr Musk’s support of Tommy Robinson.
Reform UK needs a new leader, Mr Musk said on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, before adding: “Farage doesn’t have what it takes.”
Hours later, Mr Musk said: “I have not met Rupert Lowe [one of five Reform UK MPs] but his statements online that I have read so far make a lot of sense.”
