Elon Musk has broken his silence since Nigel Farage's monumental milestone moment, predicting that Reform UK is set for success in future elections.
At a press conference yesterday morning, the leader of Reform UK announced that former Tory minister Andrea Jenkyns would be standing to be the next Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire for his party.
It came as a shocking blow to Kemi Badenoch, who only ascended to her role as leader of the Conservatives at the start of this month.
Following the announcement, a user on X claimed Reform would win the next election - which was met with a resounding "yes" from the tech mogul.
Speaking in Westminster, Farage - who has been a long-time friend of President-elect Donald Trump - claimed that the Republican and the world's richest man will throw their weight behind him at the next round of UK local elections.
Farage told reporters: “Are Trump and Elon going to support me in the run up to 2029? Well, that’s what friends are for, isn’t it?”

Louise Haigh RESIGNS after admitting to fraud conviction as Starmer Cabinet suffers first casualty
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has quit her role just hours after it emerged she had previously been convicted of fraud.
In a letter to Sir Keir Starmer, the Sheffield Heeley MP said that the issue would "inevitably be a distraction from delivering on the work of this Government and the policies to which we are committed".
Haigh came under pressure last night after it was revealed she pleaded guilty to fraud after incorrectly telling police that a work mobile phone was stolen in a mugging incident in 2013.
