Dhaka, July 6 -- Tech billionaire Elon Musk announced Saturday that "the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," following an online poll he launched earlier in the week that showed strong support for a new political force.

"Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system," Musk wrote in Friday's post announcing the poll. More than 65 percent of the 1.2 million respondents backed the idea, reports Xinhua.

Responding to the results on Saturday, Musk wrote, "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy."
