🇺🇸 COMPANY TOWNS ARE BACK!!!
Elon Musk’s company town is now real. South Texas residents, mostly SpaceX employees, voted to incorporate Starbase, giving Musk sweeping control over 1.5 sq miles near the Mexico border.
Now, SpaceX can bypass county red tape, self-approve rocket launches, shut public access to roads and beaches, and silence local opposition.
The vote passed 173–4. Musk’s chosen mayor and commissioner (all SpaceX employees) ran unopposed.
