Musk's SpaceX town in Texas warns residents they may lose right to 'continue using' their property

Musk's SpaceX town in Texas warns residents they may lose right to 'continue using' their property

Starbase was officially formed earlier this month after Elon Musk's aerospace and defense contractor prevailed in a local election.

Starbase, Texas, has notified some residents that they might "lose the right to continue using" their property as they do today, according to a memo obtained by CNBC.

The town, home to Elon Musk's SpaceX, is considering a new zoning ordinance and citywide map.

The notice, sent to property owners in a proposed "Mixed Use District," would allow for "residential, office, retail, and small-scale service uses."

Starbase plans to host a public hearing on June 23 about the proposed new zoning and map for the town. The notice was signed by Kent Myers, the city administrator for Starbase who recently accepted the job, according to ValleyCentral.com.

Representatives for Starbase and SpaceX did not respond to requests for further information on Thursday.

A "type-C municipal corporation," Starbase was officially formed earlier this month after Musk's aerospace and defense contractor prevailed in a local election. It is now run by officials who are SpaceX employees and former employees.

As of early this year, the population of Starbase stood at around 500 people, with around 260 directly employed by SpaceX, the Texas Tribune reported. Most other residents of Starbase are relatives of SpaceX employees.

The company town includes the launch facility where SpaceX conducts test flights of its massive Starship rocket, and company-owned land covering a 1.6-square-mile area.
