Residents of the area known as Starbase submitted the petition, according to the company. <\/p>\n<p>The area is on the southern tip of Texas at Boca Chica Beach, near the Mexican border. Earlier this year, Musk announced he was <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/musk-moving-headquarters-x-spacex-texas-california-e5300a4b6e1c4168061886eb492a5431\">moving the headquarters<\/a><\/span> of SpaceX and his social media company X from California to Texas. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo continue growing the workforce necessary to rapidly develop and manufacture Starship, we need the ability to grow Starbase as a community. That is why we are requesting that Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley,\u201d Kathryn Lueders, the general manager of Starbase, wrote in a letter to the county.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time turning Starbase into its own city has been floated. Musk proposed the idea in 2021 when he wrote a social media post that simply said, \u201cCreating the city of Starbase, Texas.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevi\u00f1o Jr., the county\u2019s top elected official, said despite the talks of incorporation in 2021, this was the first time a petition was officially filed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur legal and elections administration will review the petition, see whether or not it complied with all of the statutory requirements and then we\u2019ll go from there,\u201d Trevi\u00f1o said on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>More than 3,400 full-time SpaceX employees and contractors work at the Starbase site, according to a local impact study issued by Trevino earlier this year. <\/p>\n<p>SpaceX\u2019s rapid expansion in the region has drawn pushback from some locals. Earlier this year, a group called Save RGV sued the company in July over allegations of environmental violations and dumping polluted water into the nearby bay.
