The billionaire praised Lowe as a potential Reform UK leader during his dispute with Nigel Farage.
In January 2025, Elon Musk called for Nigel Farage to resign as Reform UK leader following their dispute over Tommy Robinson.
During the public falling-out, Musk praised Rupert Lowe as a potential alternative leader for Reform UK. At the time, Lowe thanked Musk but publicly maintained his support for Farage.
The dispute centred on Robinson, with Musk supporting the imprisoned far-right activist and Farage rejecting any association with him.
Within weeks of this dispute, Lowe would be suspended from Reform UK and begin his journey toward founding Restore Britain.
