SpaceX Aims to Establish Starbase as Official Texas City
Elon Musk's SpaceX is seeking to incorporate its Starbase facility in Texas into an official city, aiming to streamline the development of amenities for its growing workforce. The move is part of Musk's broader vision of creating company towns, similar to his efforts in Bastrop, Texas, where several of his ventures are based. The incorporation would support the 3,400 full-time employees and contractors at Starbase, as well as the 21,400 indirect jobs it generates. This initiative reflects a trend among tech giants like Disney, Meta, and Amazon, who are also exploring company towns.
