Musk gets his wish: SpaceX launch site approved as city of ‘Starbase’

McAllen, Texas | The South Texas home of Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket company is now an official city with a galactic name: Starbase.

A vote on Saturday (Sunday AEST) to formally organise Starbase as a city was approved by a lopsided margin among the small group of voters who live there and are mostly Musk’s employees at SpaceX. With all the votes in, the tally was 212 in favour to six against, according to results published online by the Cameron County Elections Department.
