[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] Elon Musk, CEO of the U.S. private space company SpaceX, has actively promoted 'Starbase,' a new space industry city being developed in Texas, and is reported to have donated $30 million (approximately 34 billion KRW) to the local community.

According to foreign media including CNBC on the 30th (local time), Musk posted on his Twitter, "Please consider relocating to Boca Chica, Texas, where Starbase is being developed, as well as the nearby cities of Brownsville and South Padre," and urged, "Encourage your friends to move here as well." He added, "SpaceX's hiring demand for engineers, technicians, builders, and essential support staff is rapidly increasing," emphasizing, "Starbase will grow with thousands of people flocking here over the next one to two years." SpaceX has rocket production facilities and a launch site in Boca Chica, Texas.

Additionally, Musk revealed that he will donate $30 million to Cameron County and Brownsville, the administrative authorities overseeing the new Starbase city, for school facility support and regional revitalization. In December last year, Musk moved his residence from California to Texas and is expanding various businesses in Texas to promote the Starbase project.

Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla is also building a Gigafactory for electric vehicles and battery production in Austin, Texas, and SpaceX recently began constructing a factory in Austin to produce equipment necessary for the satellite internet service Starlink.
