3:32Now PlayingX owner Elon Musk made the post calling for Nigel Farage to be replaced after days of headlines over his comments about the historic grooming scandal that took place across UK towns and cities more than a decade ago.
The development comes after Mr Musk endorsed far-right activist Tommy Robinson, claiming he was "telling the truth" about grooming gangs, writing on X: "Free Tommy Robinson".
Reform leader Mr Farage distanced himself from Robinson at a party conference, saying the jailed activist was "not what we need".
