Piers Morgan spoke out about future interview time with Elon Musk and commented on whether he could ever enter politics himself.

Switching from journalism to government leadership isn't unheard of - Boris Johnson made exactly that transition. Yet would it be taking things a step too far to believe Piers could do the same?

When one fan demanded to know: "Will you be interviewing Elon Musk soon?", he shot back: "Hope so.. perhaps he's got me in mind as the new leader of Reform!"

Musk has certainly been vocal about the British leadership possibilities, with the nation knowing that he doesn't support Labour's policies. Currently the richest man in the world thanks to his investments in technology, Musk tweeted over the weekend: "Nigel Farage doesn't have what it takes."

He added ominously that the Reform Party "needs a new leader". Now Brits are watching avidly to see what he'll suggest next - and Piers would love to have him on his show, Uncensored.

He wrote in another tweet: "I would love to interview Elon, as he knows because we've discussed it. Now seems a very good time given all the focus on the UK."

However, one sceptic insisted that Musk would "eat him for lunch" when discussing controversial activist Tommy Robinson.

"Add gun laws and Covid in and you'll be crying into your four o'clock tea," jeered the follower. Piers coolly shot back: "Maybe... maybe not."

Tommy Robinson is currently serving an 18-month jail sentence for contempt of court, and has proven divisive over his views on Islam and immigration.

However, a petition for his release has garnered over half a million signatures.

Meanwhile, fans commented on Piers' possible leadership bid for 2029, as they quipped: "Are you already planning your victory speech?"

Following Musk's shock tweet, Farage's reply gave little away, merely detailing that he was "surprised" and wouldn't be supporting Tommy Robinson as an alternative leader.

He said: "Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.

"My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles."
