Nigel Farage has highlighted what he sees as a stark contrast between Britain’s “doom and gloom” and the optimistic mood he witnessed during his recent visit to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.Speaking on GB News, the Reform UK leader pointed to the “bullishness” he observed among leading entrepreneurs and tech bosses at the Florida mansion.”Compare that to the doom and gloom we’ve got here. There’s quite a contrast,” Nigel said following his meeting with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.The comments came after Nigel’s hour-long discussion with Musk at the Florida estate, where he was accompanied by Reform party treasurer Nick Candy.During the meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Nigel and Musk spent an hour discussing Trump’s election strategy in key swing states.”I spent an hour going through with him what his strategy was – how he got new voters registered, how he used various tech tools to get them out to vote on the day,” he told GB News.The Reform UK leader said he “took copious notes” and “learnt a huge amount” during the discussion.The meeting was also attended by Reform UK treasurer and billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy, with Nigel describing the encounter as both “great” and “historic”.The group focused particularly on strategies for reaching disaffected communities who feel disenfranchised from the voting process.The meeting also addressed potential financial support for Reform UK, with Nigel confirming that money was “inevitably” discussed.”That’s a negotiation we would go back and have again. He’s not against giving us money, he hasn’t fully decided he will,” the GB News star revealed.During the talks, Musk described Labour and the Conservatives as “the uniparty” and expressed concerns about Britain’s future.”He genuinely fears that the mother country of the English-speaking world is going down the tubes,” Nigel said.Writing in The Telegraph after the meeting, he noted that Musk “left us in no doubt that he is right behind us”.The discussions follow reports, previously dismissed by Nigel, that Musk might donate up to £79 million to Reform UK.The Reform boss emphasised the difference in economic outlook between the two nations during his GB News appearance.”Even if the economy looks worse than it did two years ago, you could argue Labour are talking down the economy themselves,” he said.The Reform UK leader highlighted the optimistic atmosphere he witnessed among business leaders at Trump’s Florida estate.”One thing I saw at Mar-a-Lago were some of the biggest entrepreneurs and tech bosses in the world. The mood and the bullishness…” he noted.The visit marked at least Nigel’s fourth trip to America since his election as MP for Clacton in July.
