Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, has responded to Elon Musk's call for his resignation. Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), had criticized Farage's leadership and suggested he step down.

Farage, who will be in the United States for Donald Trump's inauguration as president, said he would meet with Musk during his visit. He expressed admiration for Musk and said he had no desire to engage in a war of words with him.

Farage acknowledged that losing Musk's support could harm Reform UK, particularly among younger voters. However, he expressed confidence that the relationship could be mended. He also emphasized that he would not compromise the party's principles, even if it meant losing support from some quarters.

Farage also addressed Kemi Badenoch's claim that Reform UK had faked its membership numbers. He said he was offended by the accusation but would not take legal action. Instead, he plans to hold a large event in Badenoch's constituency with Reform UK members and supporters.
