South Texas residents living near billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX launch site will soon decide whether they’ll be officially recognized as Starbase, Texas. A Cameron County judge announced Wednesday that the proposed SpaceX city met state requirements and an order was signed to move ahead with an incorporation election in May. Only those living in the proposed city limits will be able to cast a ballot. Musk has long been planting business roots in Texas and has spread them far and wide across the Lone Star State. The billionaire moved to Texas in 2020 and relocated to or expanded a number of his companies in the state, citing its business-friendly climate.
