Musk explained on his Twitter account that that Starbase would cover an area much larger than SpaceX s Texas facilities in Boca Chica Village.

He then followed up with another tweet, which read: From thence to Mars and hence the stars.
It s uncertain what the CEO means by this statement. But it may suggest that the company is trying to expand. Boca Chica, formerly known as Kennedy Shores, is simply a quiet fishing community. Musk s use of the term city means that the site could be slated for accelerated expansion.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is getting into the city-building business.
On Tuesday, Musk tweeted about creating the city of Starbase, Texas. He followed that up with a few other details, some of which are typically Muskian for example, he says the city will be dog friendly and its leader will be The Doge, a pun on a medieval elected lord title of the same name and the cryptocurrency DOGE, which is Musk s favorite.

However, it appears that Musk is serious about creating a new city. SpaceX s launch and development site for Starship resides in the unincorporated community in Cameron County, Texas. Musk claims he wants to incorporate the village and the land that surrounds it into a much bigger city called Starbase.
