US could get a new city named after ‘Starbase’

The SpaceX Starbase in Texas

Elon Musk has for years made Texas a business home and playground, launching rockets, building cars, and dreaming about creating a utopian enclave for his workers on the rural outskirts of the state capital.

Now, a new Musk project is on the brink of victory: an election to officially turn a small patch of coastal South Texas - home to his rocket company SpaceX - into a city known as Starbase.

Musk is likely to prevail since the small number of residents eligible to vote include his employees. Nearly 200 of 283 eligible voters have cast an early ballot, according to county election records. The list of names so far does not include Musk.
