SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, officially launched its Starbase city in Texas - and immediately sparked a wave of criticism.

πŸ™ Ilon Musk's new Starbase city strips residents of land rights

According to the leaked memo, city residents were notified: their right to use their land may be revoked due to upcoming zoning changes.


πŸ“Œ What's going on:

  • On June 23, Starbase will hold a public hearing on zoning approval
  • Residents will be given only 72 hours to review the map.
  • The "mixed use " zone could affect housing, offices and small businesses.
  • The possibility of loss of property rights is real, especially for those who don't work for SpaceX.


βš–οΈ Legal aspect:

The mechanism resembles the doctrine of "right of compulsory acquisition" (eminent domain) - where the government can seize private property for public purposes with compensation at market price.


πŸ“£ What opponents say:

* "These hills are sacred to us. They don't know the history of this land and they want to erase it. "## πŸ“£ What opponents are saying:

- Juan Mancias, tribal leader of the Carrizo/Comecrudo.

There are also fears that Starbase will gain control of the public beach of Boca Chica, which suffers from SpaceX launches.


🧠 Conclusion:

Creating Starbase under the guise of a "city of the future" may turn out to be a city of corporate control where the interests of residents and indigenous peoples are sidelined.
