Starbase is outside Brownsville, Tx.
He’s going to end up having a massive tech park there - running X and Grok AI and his Self-Driving Car data centers and of course Space X. That’s a lot of talent which can all be pooled together, pulled together, moved for special projects etc.
If I recall when be bought Twitter he came in with a handful of his Tesla programming engineers to clean those servers up. He even pulled a bunch of the servers out, literally, by himself and a few other guys to prove that they weren’t needed (I think they were the shadowbanning censorship algos). Or so the story goes.
Elon Musk announces SpaceX HQ is moving to Texas (Starbase); X headquarters moving to Austin.
