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

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.
