Elon Musk planning to build a ‘Texas Utopia’ city outside Austin – By Michael Murney (Houston Chronicle) / Mar 10, 2023
Musk plans to build a new town for his Texas workers just east of Austin in Bastrop County.
Billionaire, SpaceX CEO and Twitter troll/owner Elon Musk plans to build a town on thousands of acres of pasture and farmland located east of Austin, Texas, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Musk is attempting to execute his vision for “a sort of Texas Utopia along the Colorado River, where his employees could live and work,” according to WSJ, which reported that Musk and his companies have bought at least 3,500 acres in and around Austin in the past three years, though real estate agents and officials have indicated in past statements that the total is closer to 6,000 acres.
The idea is to provide employees of Musk’s companies in Central Texas with a place to live. Musk-owned companies in the region include Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink and the Boring Company. Musk hasn’t exactly made it clear why he wants his Central Texas employees to live together in one town that he built and owns beyond his “Texas utopia” comments.
