Elon Musk has hailed GB News' viewing figures as the People's Channel beat both the BBC and Sky News during primetime show "Farage" at 7pm last night.
Nigel Farage was joined by journalist Allison Pearson on GB News yesterday evening to discuss how a "shocking" police probe into a so-called "non-crime" post on social media from over a year ago has demonstrated that "thought control" is trying to "shape morality".

Reacting to the amazing figures after the interview, tech mogul Elon Musk took to social media to respond, saying: "Wow!"
Musk, alongside senior British politicians, has blasted the police for its ongoing investigation, arguing that it is an attack on free speech.
The founder of the social media platform X responded to the programme, commenting: "This is insane.
"Make Orwell Fiction Again!!"

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson also shared online: "This is appalling. How can Starmer’s Britain lecture other countries about free speech when an innocent journalist gets a knock on the door - for a tweet?
"Our police have their hands full of burglaries and violent crime. They are being forced to behave like a woke Securitate - and it has to stop."
On the programme, Pearson argued: "The reason I decided to go public with this was because I felt ashamed. I don't want to be a person who's visited by the police.
"It's embarrassing, It's humiliating. But I can speak now, it's not shaming. I'm not ashamed that people came to my house with a really crazy overreaction to something that should just be let go.
"It's trying to shape the morality of the population. It's thought control, I'm allowed to say what I want.

"Obviously there are limits to free speech in the sense of inciting terrorism or riot but this is just within the the realms of what normal people think. And I've heard from so many people today with lots of very upsetting examples."
Speaking with Pearson, Farage noted the timing of her arrest, saying: "On Remembrance Sunday of all days, when we remember those who fell for democracy and freedom of speech, it is outrageous that Allison Pearson had to face police officers on her doorstep."
Essex Police launched its investigation against the columnist under Section 17 of the Public Order Act 1986, regarding material which she posted online last year and said it allegedly was "likely or intended to cause racial hatred".
A police spokesman said: "We're investigating a report passed to us by another force. The report relates to a social media post which was subsequently removed."
