Elon Musk Building “Utopian” City near Austin, Tx

For the previous few years, Elon Musk has been quietly shopping for up actual property in just a little tiny city exterior of Austin.  

The Wall Road Journal is reporting that the billionaire plans to construct a sort of modern-day “firm city” to deal with staff of his numerous corporations: Tesla, SpaceX and The Boring Firm.

The deliberate group is named “Snailbrook” (not less than in the interim). 

The property is definitely within the small city of Bastrop, which is about 35 miles due east of downtown Austin on Freeway 71.

Musk has acquired the true property (reportedly over six thousand acres value) by buying pasture and farmland, in accordance with land information and not too long ago filed deeds.

In response to the New York Put up, some main development has already taken place.  

Along with services and warehouses for the Musk-owned corporations, the Put up stories {that a} health club, an out of doors enviornment and several other modular properties have already been constructed.

Why does Musk need to construct his personal city out within the boonies? 

In response to the Wall Road Journal, so he can keep away from the zoning legal guidelines and tighter rules that include being in a extra populated space, resembling Austin.

Or…San Francisco, which is the place Musk’s Twitter is headquartered. As he complained in 2021, California is the state of “overregulation, overlitigation and overtaxation”.

The Put up talked to a few of the Texans who offered to Musk. Whereas it seems like lots of them are wistful about “dropping the household farm” it seems like most of them are more than pleased with what they received within the deal.

Talking only for myself, I’ve all the time valued dwelling CLOSE to my office. Residing AT my worksite isn’t an concept I’d relish.

Particularly if the boss is legendary the world over for vindictiveness, harboring petty grudges and making rash choices.  

However, I suppose, Muskville could be SOMEONE’S concept of Utopia.
