The billionaire has a construction boom planned for his rural Texas compound known as Snailbrook.
Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, has already shown that when a city’s rules won’t bend to his will, he’ll create a new city and new rules. That’s how Starbase, the self-governing town built around SpaceX’s southern Texas launch site, came to be.
He’s had a relatively easier time building his other company town about 350 miles north in Bastrop County, where the local government has (mostly) gone along with the billionaire’s vision so far. The more than 10-square-mile Musk compound known as Snailbrook is home to his tunnel-drilling venture the Boring Company, X and a manufacturing facility for SpaceX, amidst a handful of amenities for employees.
