Elon Musk appears to have endorsed Rupert Lowe's new "political movement" by commenting with two British flags underneath the MP's post announcing the movement.
Lowe announced on X the launch of Restore Britain, which he described as "a movement for those who believe that we need to fundamentally change the way Britain is governed".
The X CEO replied to Lowe's tweet with two British flags, which the Restore Britain account quote-tweeted, stating: "Elon agrees."
Former Member of the European Parliament Steven Woolfe said Musk's support "will put the cat amongst the political pigeons".

The Financial Times claimed in March that the CEO of Tesla would support a credible party to the right of Reform.
Musk also appeared to announce his support for Ben Habib's new political party, Advance UK.
Commenting underneath a post from Habib announcing the launch of the party, Musk said: "Bravo", followed by the Union Jack.

Lowe noted there has been a "wonderful response" to the movement and is "constantly amazed by the support".
