According to preliminary election results announced by the county election website, residents of the remote community surrounding the SpaceX rocket launch site and headquarters have passed a ballot measure to establish the "Starbase" in Texas as their own city, giving SpaceX CEO Elon Musk a decisive victory. On this 1.45 square mile land, almost all residents are either employees of Musk's large manufacturing facility, or their family members. The new city will be managed by a city council, consisting of three current or former SpaceX employees, who will have the authority to oversee zoning, construction projects, and other aspects of life in the area.
