South Texas voters mostly employed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX have approved a measure to incorporate as Starbase, a new city in Texas’ Cameron County near the company’s Boca Chica Beach launch site on the Gulf of Mexico. The final tally was 212–6 in support of the measure, reports The Associated Press.

"Starbase, Texas, is now a real city," said Elon Musk after a vote decided the future of his SpaceX workplace.

The area where Elon Musk's SpaceX company operates on the southern tip of Texas is to officially become a city called Starbase. Residents approved incorporating a patch of land as the new municipality in an election on Saturday.
