Elon Musk declares the formation of the 'America Party' on his social network, following Trump's signing of a tax-cut and spending bill.
Musk announced the party after a poll on his platform showed 65% of respondents in favor of creating the America Party.
The Tesla CEO criticized the bill that ended a $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, which led to his exit from the administration after a dispute with Trump.
Musk threatened to launch the new political party and increase political spending to oppose lawmakers who supported the bill in the upcoming US elections.
