Elon Musk is on the verge of securing approval for a new city called Starbase in South Texas, a move that reflects his long-standing commitment to the state. With a small number of eligible voters that primarily include his employees, the outcome of Saturday's election seems likely to favor Musk. However, the proposed city raises concerns about granting excessive control to Musk over local resources and public access to popular areas. Despite his declining popularity and the recent troubles faced by his Tesla company, local support for Musk's endeavors remains strong.
The proposed city at the southern tip of Texas near the Mexico border is only about 1.5 square miles and crisscrossed by a few roads.
If Musk prevails in the election, it will be a victory for the mega-billionaire whose popularity has waned since becoming a public face of federal job cuts.
