Elon Musk says he has formed a new political party in the wake of his feud with President Donald Trump.
Musk asked his 221.7 million X followers to vote in a poll deciding whether he forms the new “America Party” on Thursday. After 65 percent of respondents voted “yes,” Musk says he’s following through.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it,” Musk wrote a day after posting the poll.
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” he added. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
