Elon Musk could give Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party a $100million donation in a bid to reshape British politics.
Mr Musk, the world’s richest man, has been critical of Sir Keir Starmer’s government and has showed support for Reform.
His vocal support of Donald Trump has been credited with helping to get the Republican re-elected.
He also spent $200million supporting Mr Trump, including with a $1million per day giveaway lottery in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
The billionaire is understood to be focusing his attention towards the UK and Reform.

The donation would likely be made through X, formerly known as Twitter, in a bid to get around laws governing political donation by foreign individuals.
Mr Farage said he was unaware of any plans by Mr Musk to donate to Reform, but said they shared “a good relationship”.
“All I can say is that I’m in touch with him and he is very supportive of my policy positions,” the Reform leader told The Times.
“We both share a friendship with Donald Trump and Trump has said good things about me in front of Musk.
“We’ve got a good relationship with him.”
Mr Musk recently reposted a message on social media that Reform would “win the next election”, saying simply “yes”.
He has also sparred with Sir Keir, branding him “two-tier Keir” – a popular Right-wing online insult for the Prime Minister.

Reports emerged last month that MPs planned to summon Mr Musk to Parliament to answer questions about disinformation on X – prompting an angry response from his father.
Appearing on LBC in November, Errol Musk demanded that Sir Keir resign as he hit out at Labour for sending England back to “Tudor times”.
Errol Musk added there is nothing the Labour Government could do to repair its relationship with his son, but claimed Elon “doesn’t give the UK Government a second thought”.
