Elon Musk Private City News: Not Elon Musk if he doesn’t do something new. This successful American technocrat billionaire has introduced a new concept. This is the concept of the company owning its own city. This will mainly include company employees and then other common people. The administration of this city will be in the hands of a person elected by the local people and he will take care of the functioning of this city.
Musk is planning to build his own coastal city in South Texas. Thus creating a new municipality in Texas. However, for this he will need the support of the majority of residents and voters. Musk plans to build a new city at Starbase in South Texas. This place is also known as the home of Musk’s employees.
This month, the staff took a big step towards making Starbase a city and began gathering signatures and petitions to hold an election. Currently 500 people live in this Starbase community. There are 219 main residents and 100 children. According to the application, the city is spread over 1.5 square miles and its residents will primarily be renters and work for SpaceX.
Robert Greer, associate professor at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, said that if you build your own city, you need a relatively small area. You should have complete control over that area. Star Base General Manager Catherine Lueders said that along with the establishment of the Star Base, it is important to make the necessary facilities world class. Similar cities may come into existence in future.
Some locals have protested SpaceX’s expansion of their city. If the proposed city is approved, its security manager Gunnar Milburn will be its first mayor. By moving forward with this plan, Musk will create another history.
