Elon Musk is reportedly working on constructing the city of Starbase, Texas. Following a series of Tweets, it was revealed the SpaceX CEO is in talks with Cameron County to transform SpaceX’s launch and development site for Starship into a city of the future. Expected to take over an area much larger than the Boca Chica Village, Musk said the town will be dog-friendly and “its leader shall be The Doge,†a pun on a medieval elected lord title of the same name and Musk’s favourite cryptocurrency DOGE.
Following on from his one-word Tweet that raised GameStop stock by 685% Elon Musk took to Twitter to announce his intentions to create Starbase, Texas. Before following it up just moments later with a Tweet that read, “From thence to Mars, And hence the Stars.†Envisioning “Cybervikings of Mars†SpaceX’s launch and development site for Starship, which resides in the unincorporated community in Cameron County, Texas, may soon receive a massive upgrade that could send its future residents far beyond the moon.
Amazingly, this one seems like it might not just be a stunt. According to Bloomberg, a SpaceX representative apparently made a “casual inquiry†on how to incorporate Boca Chica into a new town and rename it.
