Brits favour Elon Musk in his smackdown with former ally Donald Trump, according to a poll.

Research by More in Common found 63 per cent sided with the Tesla billionaire in his bitter fallout with the US president.

Even Reform voters were deeply split, preferring Mr Trump by just 55 per cent to 45 per cent.

However, both are deeply unpopular with Mr Musk having a net rating of minus 50 and Mr Trump minus 54.
