Errol Musk, the father of billionaire businessman Elon Musk, sparked controversy when he suggested that British far-right activist Tommy Robinson could one day become prime minister.
In an interview with Al Arabiya News presenter Tom Burgess Watson, Errol likened Robinson’s situation to that of Nelson Mandela and criticized prominent political figures, including Nigel Farage and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Errol Musk shared his son’s low opinion of Nigel Farage, noting Farage’s handling of gang issues and questioning whether he has the “strength” needed to lead the country through its economic and social challenges. Errol said Elon Musk believes Farage is “no good” based on his record in confronting sexual exploitation cases.
“I don’t think he has the power,” Errol Musk said of Farage. “Elon was basically thinking of showing poor people that Farage was just working with rape grooming gangs.”
Errol Musk drew parallels between Robinson and Mandela, saying that history could one day judge the activist more favorably, just as Mandela went from being vilified in South Africa in the 1960s to eventually becoming its president. Robinson, whose real name was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was a polarizing figure in the UK. However, Errol Musk claimed that Robinson, like Mandela, was wrongfully imprisoned on false charges over what he called “almost nothing.”
“It is very likely that Tommy Robinson will become Prime Minister of England in due course,” Errol said. “In 1963, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment… We wanted to hang him. Now, if you had said then that he would be president of South Africa, people would have thought you had lost your mind.”
When asked about his willingness to fund the UK Reform Party, Errol Musk expressed his continued support, although he acknowledged Elon’s view that the party needs new leadership. He praised the reform as a “good” option for Britain and suggested continuing to fund it, whether through direct donations or loans.
He pointed out that “reform is a good thing.” “We will continue to provide them with money… The repair is very good.”
Errol Musk also made a bold prediction regarding Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, predicting that he “won’t make it to the end of February.” He described the situation in the UK as “out of control” and claimed it was beyond the scope of simple investigations or small-scale interventions.
“You want my theory? He won’t be able to until the end of February.”
