A Texas county on Wednesday approved an election sought by SpaceX that will allow residents near Elon Musk 's company to decide whether to establish a new city called Starbase.

Since moving there in 2020, he has relocated or expanded several of his companies. Tesla 's massive 10-million-square-foot Gigafactory, which produces Cybertrucks, opened near Austin in 2022 and now serves as the company's headquarters.

The area, located at Boca Chica Beach near the U.S.-Mexico border, sits at the southernmost tip of Texas.

SpaceX first broke ground on its Texas launch site in 2014. It has since grown into a hub for the development and testing of Starship, SpaceX's next-generation spacecraft designed for deep-space missions.

Within the proposed city limits, only 10 of the approximately 250 land lots are not owned by the company.

According to a local impact study released last year, more than 3,400 full-time SpaceX employees and contractors currently work at the Starbase site.
