Residents in south Texas will vote on the incorporation of a new city, Starbase, primarily composed of SpaceX employees and their families. This election, seen as likely to pass, would grant local governance to a community heavily tied to Musk's SpaceX operations. With a population of about 500, many residents are connected to SpaceX, reflecting an unusual scenario where Musk's influence echoes that of past industrial magnates. The proposed city governance will be overseen by candidates affiliated with SpaceX, highlighting the intersection of business and local governance.
The creation of Starbase grants the opportunity for residents, mostly SpaceX employees, to pass city ordinances, giving Elon Musk influence akin to a Gilded Age industrialist.
With a population over 500, predominantly made up of SpaceX employees, Starbase's incorporation reflects a unique situation where a billionaire like Musk holds sway over a community.
