But members will be able to remove Farage - or any other party leader - in a no-confidence vote.
A vote can be triggered if 50% of all members write to the chairman requesting a motion of no confidence.
Reform MPs can also force a vote if 50 of them, or 50% of them, write to the chairman requesting one. But this only applies if there are more than 100 Reform MPs in Parliament - a high bar.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r8q99vx1koReform claims over 170,000 members now. I wonder if "write to" means "by post", or if it includes email. If the former, I think almost any leader would be confident under half their members would bother with a stamp (and those most likely to be a Musk acolyte are those least likely to use the post). They'd also need to forget that Farage has been the only UKIP etc. politician capable of getting them treated by both the media and electorate seriously at the same time.
Farage really just needs to work out if he can still get that sweet money out of Musk somehow. It may be that Musk got a strong batch of ketamine for Christmas, and will calm down on his "rule-the-world" tweets in a few weeks.
