UK: Elon Musk ‘helping Tommy Robinson with £120k legal fees’

Tesla billionaire Elon Musk could reportedly hand Tommy Robinson up to £120,000 to cover his legal fees

Tommy Robinson is reportedly being bankrolled by Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, months after the convicted criminal caused a rift between Musk and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Robinson has faced a slew of legal setbacks in recent months, including losing an appeal to shorten his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court after he repeated libellous comments about a Huddersfield schoolboy.

The activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also lost a challenge against his segregation in jail in March and was charged under the Terrorism Act for failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN number last year. He is currently being held in a closed wing at Woodhill in Milton Keynes, before his release in July, reports The Express.
