But she had received an email “out of the blue” withdrawing her ETA because her “presence in the UK is not considered to be conductive to the public good."
On her X account, she shared a screenshot of what appeared to be an email from the Home Office, which showed that her ETA had been revoked.
Ms Vlaardingerbroek, who was last in the UK speaking at the massive Unite the Kingdom rally led by the far right activist Tommy Robinson, had sided with Mr Musk in the row after he accused the UK government of acting like “fascists.”
The rightwing Dutch political campaigner made her name as a strident voice questioning vaccines and lockdowns during the Covid pandemic and has strong links with the MAGA movement in the UK and Trump administration.
She has been dubbed by critics as “far right” over her language on issues like immigration.
The ban looks set to exacerbate “free speech” issues between the UK and Donald Trump’s administration with Ms Vlaardingerbroek , who remains a popular figure with the MAGA movement and allies of the US president.
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer is pushing Ofcom to take actions against X after its Grok AI tool was used to sexualise women and children on the social media platform.
She linked her ban to an online attack she made about the prime minister regarding him standing up to Mr Musk over Grok.
She had referenced the issues over grooming gangs in the UK of Asian men targeting white girls which have also been highlighted by Mr Musk where the prime minister was initially reluctant to hold a national inquiry into the scandal before U-turning.
She said: “It was about that he's saying that he wanted to ban X because of the Grok edits and women's safety as a pretext as to why he thought that the ban would be a good idea.
“I said that that was really rich, given the fact that he has a really bad track record when it comes to fighting the migrant gangs who are raping British girls.
“So it's kind of interesting that this man now seems to care about women's safety, all of a sudden, really doesn't have his priorities straight. So I said he's a despicable, evil man.”
