Elon Musk's SpaceX Base Became a New City in Texas.

In the city of Starbase, located in Texas and home to the rocket company SpaceX, a new city has officially been established. This was reported by 'Glavcom' citing AP.

Residents of Boca Chica, most of whom are SpaceX employees, voted for the creation of the new city.

As noted, out of 283 registered voters, 97.7% expressed support for this initiative. This decision gives the community the right to enact local laws and manage the infrastructure.

A mayor was also elected, with the position going to SpaceX's Vice President of Test and Launch, Robert Peden.

Elon Musk also supported this event, posting on his social media page X: 'Starbase, Texas. Now it’s a real city!'

Starbase, Texas Now it’s a real city!

It’s worth noting that in April, Tesla sales fell in some European markets. This trend has been observed throughout the year.

Some Europeans have started buying more Chinese electric vehicles, while others are protesting against the views and actions of Elon Musk - the billionaire and associate of the US President.

For example, Tesla's new car sales fell by 80.7% in Sweden - the lowest figure since October 2022, when only 43 new Teslas were registered in the country.

Analysis:

The creation of Starbase city in Texas is an important event for SpaceX and Elon Musk. It gives them more power and opportunities to make decisions regarding infrastructure development and legislation in that area. On the other hand, Tesla's car sales have dropped in several European markets, which may be linked to general market trends and protests against Musk and his views. This could impact the company's future prospects in Europe.
