Nick Candy plans to visit America for face to face talks with Elon Musk amid reports of £100m donation
REFORM Party Treasurer Nick Candy is planning to fly to the US for face to face talks with Elon Musk.
The meeting – which could come within days – comes amid reports the US tech billionaire and world’s richest man is planning to donate £100million to the party.
If he signs over the cheque it would be the biggest political donation in British history and will put rocket boosters under Reform ahead of the next election.
Nick Candy told The Sun on Sunday: “Elon Musk is a great man who will do anything in his power to save the western world.
“Like us, he knows we only have one chance left.”
Mr Musk is one of Donald Trump’s closest allies and joining his new government as his efficiency Tsar.
Both men are close to Reform and Nigel Farage.
Reform got four million votes at the general election and had five MPs elected.
But they came second in 98 seats – 89 of which were won by Labour.
Nigel Farage has vowed to turn Britain’s traditional two party political system upside down and become Prime Minister at the next election.
A Reform Party source said: “Nick Candy can be to Nigel Farage what Elon Musk is to Donald Trump.
“Nick is not just one of the best connected people in politics but also a respected international businessman.
“We can now see that Reform UK are starting to build a wide team of people that can win the next general election — and fix broken Britain for good.”
The source added: “The Conservative Party won’t be able to pay its electricity bill by the time Nick is finished with their big donors.”
