Elon Musk, an influential supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, recently shared a documentary on a platform owned by him, which has an audience of over 210 million followers.

The documentary featured Tommy Robinson, a significant figure in the far-right sphere of UK politics. Known for his controversial rallies in London that attract thousands, Robinson is a former member of the British National Party. Despite his failed attempt to secure a seat in the European Parliament in 2019, his influence remains significant.

The documentary, however, faced legal trouble when a schoolboy successfully won a libel case against Robinson, claiming the documentary’s false assertions had deeply affected him and his family, to the point where they had to change their residence.

Musk’s involvement in UK politics is not new. The tech magnate has been at odds with the reigning Labour Party since they assumed power. Musk has labelled the UK a “tyrannical police state” and warned of an impending “civil war” as the country grappled with widespread violence during the summer.

Musk’s endorsement of Robinson could complicate his relationship with Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK. Farage’s party, characterized by its right-wing populist stance, has been trying to separate itself from the extreme factions of the right in the UK. Despite this, Musk has shown support for Farage’s party and has even met with him at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort last December.

Musk has also faced criticism in Germany after publicly supporting the far-right group, Alternative for Germany, referring to it as the “last spark of hope” for the nation.
