      Elon Musk has agreed to help fund the mounting legal bills of Tommy Robinson, according to claims made by supporters of the jailed far-right leader.

      The tech billionaire has been a vocal supporter of the extremist leader, and any financial backing will pose a further problem for Keir Starmer over his attempts to destabilise UK politics.

      Musk has not revealed any donations himself, but a message sent out on Robinson’s X and Telegram accounts stated: “We are grateful to Elon Musk and his team at X for agreeing to provide support to Tommy Robinson for two specific legal cases” .

      This guys going on a worldwide spending spree on the far-right. His salute last night looks more and more like a message.

      If a Chinese or Russian oligarch funds a far-left or far-right activist’s legal battles, we will sanction them and all their businesses in the UK. Can we please sanction Musk and ban Twitter from operating in the UK? He is a Nazi sympathiser and poses a great danger to British democracy.

      I’d not heard of Tommy Robinson until recently.

      I only ever see posts from those calling him a racist or far right, and a lot of negative comments on social media, but I’ve never seen him say anything racist in an interview.

      What’s he supposed to have done?

      Seems like a good thing that he is exposing the Pakistani grooming gangs with that documentary?

      Why would Musk want to fund and support the best known racist in Britain? (Scratches head, gazes into the distance)

      Funny how Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon who originally tried to run off from justice is using the money of the richest person in the world who recently got caught doing a Nazi salute twice on stage. True man of the people.

      He definitely wasn’t doing a nazi salute though, OK? He’s completely politically neutral, he just wanted to help Steve out because of all the left wing billionaires doing the same thing, right? Even things out a little.

      Surely Musk can’t be so ignorant that he thinks that Robinson is a big player in the UK political scene, right?

      This isn’t uprising… Billionaires have always done this. JK has been funding a ton of spurious anti-trans cases for years. It’s just how they influence our justice system.

      That’s the very definition of pissing good money up the wall. I really hope this continues…the multi name clown has a court case every other week and we could just send the bill to this goon.

      Oh and whilst he’s investing in stupid British scams…where’s that 100 million for reform?

      Starmer needs to grow a pair against this…he is really under estimating the far-right and what Elon will be able to do flooding the UK with misinformation to get more on his side, voting reform and getting Tommy out. He doesn’t seem to want Farage as leader, would be very extreme if he thinks Tommy could lead, he must have big plans for him if his trying to get him out though
