Musk's SpaceX company town is reportedly notifying residents they may 'lose the right to continue' using their property [View all]

amid zoning push

The newly approved city of Starbase is apparently looking to ramp up development, telling some residents they “may lose the right to continue” using their property as a result of a proposed zoning ordinance for a mixed-use space, according to a memo published by CNBC. Starbase is home to SpaceX’s Starship launch site, and the majority of its residents are employees of Elon Musk’s company.

Starbase, the fledgling Texas city home to Elon Musk’s SpaceX, appears to be making rapid moves to advance its development.

The city has notified some residents it is considering a new zoning ordinance that may require residents to lose access to their property, according to a city memo published by CNBC.

“The city of Starbase is holding a hearing that will determine whether you may lose the right to continue using your property for its current use, please read this notice carefully,” newly hired city administrator Kent Myers, the memo’s author, said.

So did the state of Texas give Musk the right of eminent domain?
