Billionaire Elon Musk Plans On Creating A City In Texas That Will Be Called Starbase

Billionaire Elon Musk Plans On Creating A City In Texas That Will Be Called Starbase. Elon Musk plans to create new city named Starbase at SpaceX’s Texas launch site.  According to Hindustan Times, some people in Texas said the move is part of Musk’s plan to change the name of Boca Chica, the area near the Mexican border where SpaceX’s new Starship prototypes dominate the seaside skyline. Elon Musk said on Twitter that he wants to create a new city around the small town of Boca Chica, where his SpaceX already has a private launch site and rocket production facility. “Creating the city of Starbase, Texas,” he wrote, adding in a second tweet, “From thence to Mars, And hence the Stars.”

According to Bloomberg, a Cameron County, Judge Eddie Trevino, said that a SpaceX representative made a casual inquiry about how to incorporate Boca Chica into a new town and rename it. “Sending a tweet doesn’t make it so. They have a lot of hoops and hurdles to go through before they can make it so. I think they may be getting a little ahead of themselves.” said Trevino.

Elon Musk has always had ambitious plans that shock people until he achieves them. This idea of building his own city could be a reality in the future along with his idea of colonising Mars. Both Tesla and SpaceX currently have operations in Texas: a new Tesla factory outside of Austin is scheduled to open this year, while SpaceX has a launch site in Cameron County. The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk also filed paperwork in late October to move his personal foundation from California to Austin.

Elon Reeve Musk is a business magnate, industrial designer, and engineer. He is the founder, CEO, CTO, and chief designer of SpaceX; early investor, CEO, and product architect of Tesla Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink; and co-founder and initial co-chairman of OpenAI. Musk is also one of the richest people in the world with an estimated net worth of $183 billion.
