At the weekend, Candy, 51, told The Sunday Times: “I don’t want to go too much into the personal side of it. But he, I think, would like to help Nigel and Reform and myself.”

Tycoon Candy added that Musk is “legally allowed to donate through his companies that are registered in the UK … whether that’s Tesla or whether that’s X”.

Reform have also been keen to speak to Musk about Trump’s victory in the US election and winning in seven swng states that ultimately decided his win.

Candy believes he can raise up to £40 million by the next election and he will personally give £1 million.

Musk will now look to cut the size of the US state and will help run the Department of Government Efficiency. He gave at least £200 million to the Republicans during the election.
