Elon Musk supports right -wing extremist Tommy Robinson: Skandal in the new year!

The US billionaire Elon Musk also caused excitement for right-wing extremist positions in 2025. The focus is particularly on the currently imprisoned British right-wing extremist Tommy Robinson, whose support Musk has publicly expressed on his X-account. He shared contributions from Robinson's supporters with the clear request "Free Tommy" and described him as political prisoners. Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is considered the most prominent right-wing extremist in the UK. Even Nigel Farage, an advocate of the Brexit, had distanced himself from him in the past due to Robinson's connections to violent criminals, as [today.at] reported.

The 42-year-old is currently in custody after violating a judicial decision by reporting false accusations against a Syrian refugee. This already led to a conviction for defamation, in which he had to pay £ 100,000 compensation for pain and suffering. Despite these allegations, Robinson stays with his supporters and has published a video on his X account, which counts over a million followers, in which he picks up the claims in question. Musk, who has more than 200 million followers on X, is also keen against the British Prime Minister Keir Strander. He criticized Strander for this, not energetic enough against criminal rings of abuse, as a former head of the CROWN Prosecution Service (CPS).
