Elon Musk's dream for a city named Starbase, Texas, has become a reality following an overwhelming vote from local residents, predominantly SpaceX employees, to rename their community. The vote, which resulted in a 212-6 outcome, allows Starbase to officially be recognized as a municipality. However, the transformation into Starbase has faced criticism from local homeowners who feel pressured by SpaceX to sell their properties due to the company's expansive growth and launch activities in the area. Overall, Musk and SpaceX have solidified their presence in the Rio Grande Valley with this city incorporation.
The name change comes after Cameron County residents voted in favor 212-6 to rename the community, marking a significant shift towards creating a new Texas city.
Despite broad support for the name change, local homeowners expressed concern, alleging that SpaceX had pressured them to sell their properties near the launch facility.
