"He Is Not Wrong": Elon Musk Responds To Andrew Tate's New Political Party
Elon Musk came out in support of British-American influencer Andrew Tate’s newly launched political party, ‘BRUV’ (Britain Restoring Underlying Values). Tate claims to “fix the mess” if voted as the UK Prime Minister. Earlier, shortly after Tate announced the launch of his party, X, owned by Musk, suspended the party’s handle on the social media platform.
After the ban, Tate, the former kickboxer, tagged Musk and asked why the account had been deactivated. After a short period, the political party’s handle @votebruv was restored, prompting Tate to thank Musk publicly. In his reaction, Tate reiterated his mission to “bring greatness back to Britain.”

“We are back. Join us @votebruv. We’re taking Britain back to greatness. The revolution will be televised,” he wrote. He thanked Musk, calling him a “brother” and using the term “bruv (for bro)” in his message. Replying to that, Elon Musk wrote, “Not sure why it was suspended, but it seems to be fixed now.”

In a video clip posted on X (formerly Twitter), Tate denounces the “generational failure” of UK politics. In the video, he calls out the political establishments and says, “You are corrupt and you have failed people generationally.”
“It is absolutely disgusting what has happened to that country … I can’t seem to find faith in any other political party which is truly interested in doing what is required. Therefore, I will do it myself,” he said. Tate also called out to people mocking his decision to fight for PM. “I will leave a legacy of flawless governance,” he said.
Explaining why he “cannot fail,” Tate said, “My success, even if I do not become Prime Minister, will force the parties of the UK to address the issues they don’t want to address. They will be forced to discuss my point of view. They will be forced to discuss the momentum that my party has managed to gather based purely on a message of competence and nationalistic policies. They will be forced to discuss things that they have been trying to ignore for generations.”

Earlier this week, Tate referred to himself as the “unofficial Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.” He also supported “Greenland’s annexation into the American empire.” He thinks Danish fighting America is “insanity.” Greenland can be used for “something cool. Nobody even goes there,” he said. In another post, he reiterated that Greenland belongs to America.
As unofficial Prime Minister of The United Kingdom I whole heartedly support Greenlands annexation into the American empire.
I have sent a diplomatic cable to the Danish stating:
“Fighting America is insanity. You’re cooked bruv. Give it up”

Describing the political campaign, the official website of Tate’s new political party mentioned the motive as “This is a war to reclaim Britain. No excuses, no compromises, no second chances. We will defend our borders, crush crime, purge corruption, and restore pride to a nation under siege.” “Britain will rise again-stronger, unyielding, and unapologetic. If you want safety, power, and freedom, join the fight. The time for talk is over. It’s action or nothing.”
