JAKARTA - Elon Musk will create a new city around the SpaceX rocket launch facility in Texas. The richest person in the world announced his intention through his social media account on Twitter.
"Creating the city of Starbase, Texas", Musk wrote on his Twitter account, Wednesday, March 3.
Cited from Business Insider, the SpaceX Texas facility area is located in Boca Chica Village, a small town near Brownsville. The company has been developing the Starship rocket and testing several prototypes of it since 2014.

However, the boss of SpaceX and Tesla said that the city of Starbase will have a "larger area" than Boca Chica.
The Prosecutor's Office in Cameron County, Boca Chica, confirmed Musk's plans to create a city.
“In the last few days, Cameron County has been officially approached by SpaceX regarding Elon Musk's interest in bringing Boca Chica Village to Starbase City, Texas. Today, the Cameron County Court of Commissioners has been notified of SpaceX's efforts", the Cameron County Attorney's Office said in a statement.
Despite this, the city of Starbase doesn't exist yet. Local authorities warned that Musk had to submit a formal request before the merger process could begin.
"If SpaceX and Elon Musk are to go down this path, they have to comply with the state's founding laws", says Eddie Treviño, Jr. as a Cameron County Judge Cameron County will process petitions in accordance with applicable laws".
However, until now, SpaceX has not provided more detailed information regarding the plan.
The company is developing a new launch system, namely Starship-Super Heavy. This will be used for the purposes of sending crews to the moon and Mars.
Elon Musk wants the rocket to be 120 meters high and reusable or reusable quickly. This system also allows companies to move humans from one point of the earth to another at a very high speed.
As additional information, currently, Boca Chica does not have a public irrigation system, even though it does have an electricity system. Based on leaks from a draft FAA document in January, SpaceX may plan to drill five natural gas wells and build a gas-fired power plant at the Boca Chica facility.
