Britain May Block Political Donations By Elon Musk

The Telegraph reports:

The Government has opened the door to blocking Elon Musk from donating millions of pounds to Reform UK with new laws.

Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, recently revealed that Mr Musk, a tech billionaire and close ally of Donald Trump, is actively considering making a large donation to his party.

There has been speculation that the sum could be in the region of $100 million (£78.8 million).
