Elon Musk just built a new city.
It's in Texas. It's called Starbase.
What started as the home of SpaceX’s launch site is now officially a city, with its own mayor, Bobby Pedden, a long-time SpaceX employee.
It's a 21st century company town.
You don’t apply to live there, you get recruited!
According to the new official X account, Starbase aims to "build the best community possible", for "the future of humanity’s place in space."
Is Starbase a living prototype of a Martian colony??
We’re officially in sci-fi territory here 🚀
Back to earth, establishing Starbase as an official city makes it easier to get around bureaucracy, when dealing with launch permissions road closures etc.
Elon desperately needed a win, and he got it.
Key takeaway:
Elon is mad serious about space and about everything he does.
The mantra still holds: never bet against Elon!
