ELON MUSK and Nigel Farage are dominating the Tory leadership election race as candidates struggle with statements by the X boss and Reform owner-leader over the far-right riots.

Former work and pensions secretary Mel Stride described Mr Musk’s remarks, which have included predicting a civil war, as “absurd and deeply, deeply unhelpful” today.

He also slammed the X mogul for sharing fake stories alleging rioters were to be dispatched to camps on the Falklands Islands.
