This election will decide if Elon Musk gets his own city in Texas. Most of the voters work for him.

Elon Musk wants to create his own city. His wish could soon be granted.

On Saturday, those who live around SpaceX’s rocket launch site in South Texas will vote on whether to incorporate the area as the City of Starbase.

The election is likely to go Musk’s way. That’s because most of the voters work for him.

The Texas Newsroom obtained a list of the 283 voters eligible to cast a ballot in the Starbase special election. More than three in five work for SpaceX, according to an analysis of LinkedIn profiles and social media posts documenting their employment. An additional 20 were among the dozens of people who signed a petition calling for the incorporation vote.

1. I say partially as a joke but mark my words - this ends up

in a darkened lair in an extinct volcano on an uncharted island.

2. Sounds like Blofeld in the "You Only Live Twice" movie

There's something wrong with Musk.

Something seriously wrong. No wonder he and Trump-- like Trump and Epstein but for different reasons-- get along so well.
