Elon Musk News: Space founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk wants SpaceX’s ‘Starbase’ to be converted into a new city in Texas. He is trying hard to convert his plan into reality.
SpaceX has filed a petition in Cameron County asking for elections to be held at Starbase for its own municipality. Just a few days ago, Musk has created a new history of earnings. According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index data, he has become the first person to reach a network worth $400 billion. According to AP report, on December 11, SpaceX wrote a letter to local officials. He said that steps should be taken to make this site a city. The company said that the people living in Starbase have filed this petition. In a letter to officials, Starbase General Manager Katherine Lueders wrote, “Starships need to increase the workforce needed to rapidly develop and build them, and to do this, we need to develop Starbase as a community.” Let us tell you that Musk has not expressed this wish for the first time. In 2021, Musk had posted on social media, Starbase – Construction of Texas city.. He did not give any reference or any other specific detail and simply wrote this. What is interesting about the Starbase site is that…according to Trevino’s data, more than 3500 full-time SpaceX employees and contractors work at the Texas Starbase site. More than 3,000 jobs were created at the site, the 2024 Economic Impact Report said. A Bloomberg report says this is where SpaceX manufactures, tests and launches its Starship Moon and Mars rockets and related systems. It has been said in the report that a big warehouse named Starfactory has been built here. (Input from AP and Bloomberg) Tags: Elon Musk, World newsFIRST PUBLISHED : December 15, 2024, 13:09 IST
