The Musk Foundation covered the costs of Tommy Robinson's journey to Moscow in June 2026.
Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, confirmed the arrangement in an interview published on 11 July. He stated plainly: "I brought him out to Russia." Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, attended a Kremlin-backed economic forum and held meetings with Russian business figures during the visit.
The disclosure, drawn from Errol Musk's own account, cuts through years of mainstream efforts to brand Robinson an extremist. His focus has remained consistent: immigration controls, integration failures and the preservation of national cohesion. These are not fringe obsessions. They match centre-right priorities that polling has shown command broad public support across Britain.
Errol Musk described Robinson as "a fine young man" who is "very hotheaded, but at the same time, he's learning." The older Musk had first become aware of Robinson during the activist's imprisonment for contempt of court. Their encounter in Russia appears to have been arranged deliberately.
Robinson posted a video from a Moscow hotel in which he said they were "going to go and cause some trouble." He also recorded his impressions of the country. "I've come to see how this country got itself so well on to the straight and narrow and see the beauty of a civilised society here," he stated. In the same remarks he rejected the idea that Russia poses a threat to Britain. "Russia is not the enemy of Britain. That narrative has long since died a natural death. There are those who benefit from pushing Russia as an enemy but everyone laughs at those people now."
