Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe gets more views on X than most world leaders.
In February last year, we reported that Lowe was earning nearly £1,000 an hour for sharing posts on X.
But we’d hazard a guess that this number is far greater now.
According to research carried out by the Financial Times, the far-right politician and former Reform MP gets more visibility on X than the likes of Andy Burnham, Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelensky.
This is despite the fact that Restore Britain, the party set up by Lowe following his departure from Reform and of which he is the sole MP, is supported by just a fraction of the British public.

Polling shows that Restore Britain is supported by between 3-5% of Brits, a level comparable with the SNP and well below the likes of the Greens and Lib Dems.
But only three world leaders have amassed more views on X with their posts than the Great Yarmouth MP. They are Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump and Sanae Takaichi, the Japanese premier.
The reason for this is clear – Lowe’s content is being amplified by billionaire and X owner Elon Musk.
Having initially shown his support for Nigel Farage and Reform, it wasn’t long before Musk realised the party weren’t quite extreme enough for him.
So, he threw his support behind Restore and regularly engages with Lowe’s posts.
The FT reports that, so far in 2026, 43% of Lowe’s 1.7bn views on X were from posts that were reposted or commented on by Musk.
With 241m followers, Musk managed to increase the views Lowe’s posts by almost 100 times when he quoted them.
By contrast, prime minister Andy Burnham has received one-sixth of the views Lowe has so far in 2026 (261m).
It’s clear to see that Musk deliberately amplifying Lowe’s far-right, inflammatory, anti-migration views, which have included pledges to deport “millions” of people from the UK and claims that Islam is “incompatible with the British way of life”.
If Musk was trying to support Lowe and Restore Britain with a donation of some sort, it would be illegal. But on the platform he owns, Musk is allowed to boost Lowe all he likes.
But really, we should expect nothing less from such an evil individual.
