SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by billionaire Elon Musk, has put forth a proposal to transform its Starbase site in South Texas into a fully incorporated city. The request was made in a letter sent to local officials, seeking an election to formalize the area known as Starbase, where SpaceX constructs and launches its Starship rockets.
The Starbase location is situated at Boca Chica Beach in southern Texas, near the Mexican border. Earlier this year, Musk announced plans to relocate the headquarters of SpaceX and his social media company X from California to Texas, citing the need for a larger workforce to support the rapid development and production of the Starship.
