I live there near space x my school even got a field trip to it and I got to see starship in person
Lol he has so much money that he's now playing SimCity in real life
🤣🤣 best comment
Building a city in Boca Chica will give Elon the opportunity to explore new technologies that can be used on the Moon and on Mars. The energy efficiency of the dwellings will have applications on Earth.
Don't forget about Akon building a city in Africa
@@gizmonight2000 makes sense as that’s where he grew up.
Always make sure you have running water. =)
I volunteer to be the first youtuber to move to Starbase!
Yessssir I be coming too
Me too
Letsss gooooo
I'll be coming too!
I would love to go to do sum great with my life
Elon musk is like the first billionaire that actually uses his money to do stuff
I would say he is the billionaire to do the most stuff. Plenty of the eccentric upper crust have pet projects in philanthropy and advancement or protection in aspects of human life or human interests.
yes, just not good quality stuff- but who needs quality when you have quantity
@@livewellwitheds6885 not high quality? wth does donating millions of dollars to a super poor city seem low quality? Does making a rocket that can possibly reuse its engine and upper body, can carry tons of cargo, yet is still somehow one of the cheapest rockets ever made, not high quality to you?
@@yadatada5556 the donation part is quality, everything else, no
The first billionaire to use his money to do something beneficial to society instead of crashing economies, subverting democracy, gr00min kids and destroying free markets in America. (coughgeorgesoroscough)

Underrated comment
Garnet said this in Steven universe right?
Heck I wear my sunglasses at night
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

The amazing thing is how quickly this man can move his gigantic corporate machine! He's focused like a laser beam on maximizing the speed, and efficiency of his operations. The guy is coming out as a superhero of problem solving. He doesn't do that much talking. I can see why lots of people (political leaders, and CEO's) dislike him; he makes them look really bad the way he leaves them in the dust!
I didn’t know this was a thing I wanna be a rocket scientist for spaceX and I already live in Texas so that would be perfect
Let us know if you get the gig, we'll need an inside man 😅
@@TheTeslaSpace 😂 ok
That's good man, I want to work the company neuralink in Texas
Texans should get first dibs
@@slimhardaway8 the smartest people in the world*** should get first dibs.
Everyone: “I really wish we lived in cities that are like the ones in sci fi movies but those won’t be in our lifetime.”
Elon: “Do you mock me? I am speed.”
Truly someone to believe in.
Elon...You think you're God?
That was the most 9 year old thing I’ve read today
@@samautrey You’re a virgin aren’t you…?
@@tommoore2012 you’re one to talk
Idk about tunnels, the water table is probably very high being on the ocean and next to a major river
@Nick Wiedenhoff what LA the city or the state?
@@WhiteWolfos City where the original Boring Company Tunnels were founded and built
perhaps he could build tubes on top of the ground the way they do with oil pipelines. a hyperloop depends mainly on air vacuum and doesn't necessarily need to be underground unless the vacuum would collapse the walls of the tube. lets leave it up to Elon and team to figure it out. if i were qualified i would help.
Tunnels are like tubes, even if it passes the English Channel, it is provided with waterproofing installations. If I can see that, there is no reason Elon has not. . . . .
You that the water table is very 'high'.
I live 20 minutes from Brownsville, this is insane! My brother was unemployed for almost a year but got hired as a scaffolder for Starbase
He's going to build a city on Earth, so he could gain know-how, he will need to build a city on Mars.
My thoughts exactly. Thought it would be nice to build his prototype Mars Base Alpha there.

What is Mars-like in Boca Chica that will generate new info not found elsewhere?
B U L L S H I T
@@paulmidd5523 yh, these people are really dumb. Like if there aren’t plenty of people who knows how to build a city
Elons OCD issue fuels his drive, if he has sights on building such a futuristic city, its no longer if, its just a question of how soon.
@won doyouwant but you do agree that the Vegas loop is ass right?
@@matman2864 it is a step in the right direction tho. Just the fact that he proposed tht tunnel and it was approved is already an achievement
@@matman2864 you do realize that SpaceX was ass before becoming the global leader in commercial space travel right?
Knowing Elon everything takes ages

The first city on Mars will be called Muskow.
It will?

Elon Musk is our hope for humanity and Hill be remembered till the end of time
He is not a GD neither he is hope for humanity but a oppressor con with a fake mask!
Anyone saying “I want to move there!” is not aware of how hot it is right now in Texas (mid-August). These people in these towns are friendly for a reason; every summer is a test of will.
Higher temps up here in Austin. Yes, we have lower humidity, but it's every bit as hot. At least down in Boca Chica, you have a beach nearby!
Considering his track record, I'd be careful about using the word "Absurd" when dealing with Elon Musk.
Hey, the word absurd doesn’t have to be bad
@@Robogamer-nl1ho absurdly awesome?
@@markmeripa Yes
What Elon must have done? Tell me one thing
Track record? Nah, there's no track. Just Teslas in a tube. It's more profound than it sounds lol. Just don't look at the project proposal...or the budget.
It is also my hope,that Elon Musk,will have a future architectural city design concept contest ,which includes artist and visionaries conceptual ideas,concepts that architects could achieve structurally.
Lucasfilm where are you!!!!!?
It will be interesting to watch and experience (for those in the area). It would certainly give Brownsville a unique marketing edge. The city probably also already has harbor space to dock any mobile launch platforms.
I don't think roads into and out of Starbase would go away entirely. Tunnels run the risk of flooding in bad weather or if the water table is too high. There are also all sorts of heavy and bulky loads to move and they probably won't fit through tunnels. Larger starship payloads come to mind.
I do hope though that both the city of Brownsville and Musk are insightful enough to realise that car dependency is not a good thing. Build up road infrastructure by all means but design for habitability by implementing a good bicycle and foot infrastructure. Get away of having to use the car for everything with no other (safe) option.
Rebuilding local building codes to allow for something other than detached single family houses as dwellings without requiring a variance is IMO an extremely good idea.
Security will likely become an issue. Drug cartels or organised crime holding Starbase operations hostage with threats of crossborder mortar fire or illegal migrant invasion anyone?
Realize*
nooo here in brownsville it is not dangerous at all we all live here pretty chill
Elon has seen many of the negative things that you have not mentioned. If the City of New York has thrived, there is no reason Brownsville cannot. . . . One more thing, bulk transports will be done at sea, tunnels are just for commuters.
Yeah...mexico is only about 3-4 miles away from starbase..the rio grande river is right there. Security and transportation/better road infrastructures are top priorities.
The hostage thing is possible..tho..brownsville is not considered a very dangerous border town compared to El Paso,Laredo,and several other Tx. cities.
He doesn't fail - he said failure teaches him what went wrong. He's the only go-getter I've ever seen in the 20th & 21st CENTURY. When he says something, he ends up doing it. He is a perfectionist for a reason. He's a great humanitarian and is truly here for humanity ❤️ Great Person!
The Starbase vision is incredible. Outstanding presentation. Thumbs up!
Tunnels in swampy ground sounds great. Everything is great!
I was extremely happy to see this video today,Thank-you. Our amazing technology and enterprising capabilites need to happen here on earth,as well as being able to accomplish it on other planets.Love seeing the Boring company's underground tunnel for vehicles.could you do a video on how it works?Is it magnetic levitation technology?
Elon is a pretty special force on the planet.
The city is a reality already it just work in progress god blesses you guys✨
I loooove the intro "hey Elon knights and musketeers" 👁️👄👁️
First of all, Im jealous of not having that idea to try to make jokes😅
I would IMMEDIATELY buy a hous in StarBase!
Elon for Mayor!!!!!!!!!!
Same
They won't be for sale
@@danthelambboy for rent then?
I'm a drone too
Star Base is the Future, Yes I would like to live and work there, totally awesome!
But actual, they could probably build floating solar farms there. Despite of the nature, destroying most sooner or later. Same goes for the launch there.
Given Elon's track record with stating something he's going to do....and then actually doing it....I'm gonna go out on a short limb here and say that Starbase WILL be a new and burgeoning city in the NEAR future! If' you're one of those who are willing to be adventurous, you'd have a really good shot at becoming well off by joining in at the beginning. I don't see him failing anytime soon.
the only person in the comments who don't think something will happen just because somebody says it could
@@livewellwitheds6885Well Elon has a habit of doing what he says he’s going to do.🤷🏾
Elon Musk the 8th wonder of the world
we visited the starship last Oct.. we loved it & also saw many tesla cars as well.
Love ur shit! Hell yea, i appreciate leaning from your videos🙇🏾
The foundation of that city would be on sandy water ground.... not sure if that would be great, not sure if big buildings beside of a rocket test would be great either ^^
My guess is that the main parts of the city will be at least a few miles away from the site. And if not, you can be Elon and his crew will figure a solution.
i’m from brownsville and this makes me so happy lmaoo
Hey, Patrick Garcia, I live in Brownsville, Texas, too. I'm 34. But I am very wary as to what Elon is doing, what he's really up to here in Brownsville, at Boca Chica Beach. .
Hey I'm about 20 mins north of u guys. I'll go down there to check out the malls and outlets here and there maybe hit spi few times.
@@daviedood2503 hey, Davie Dood. Let's me up, some time. I'm free all month. I received a good amount of stimulus checks. I'm reaping the rewards, haha.
Bro Elon musks pipedreams ARE the future... He's an incredible human being and I full support everything he is doing
Awsome video 👍
When Elon dreams, they usually come true. I have no doubt that it will happen.
Imagine that one farmer that grew up there and what he's gonna think when he's 90 and a huge metropolis exists.
He'll be the kid at school that calls you a bandwagoner because you liked the warriors
His farm land would probably cost like $5M/acre, so if someone did that, they'd probably be pretty happy.
very informative. thanks.
we r moving to starbase already on our way :) excellent video :)
Love the idea of Starbase, would be an upgrade from my current city, Corpus Christi, TX!
Would be an upgrade from my current city, Austin Tx!
@@tommoore2012 What about Tesla operations in Del Valle? I'm from brownsville/harlingen area but lived 4yrs.in Del Valle...my has that place grown in the last 30yrs. No more Bergstrom AFB.
2 things to say: 1)If the hurricane happens again, it could destroy practically everything they have built, that scares me, I know they can rebuild it, but it would take TIME, and 2) That place where Starbase is right now, it has a lot of water and lagoons and very disconnected land, maybe Elon is going to fill it with earth so that there is more nearby area available to build? in Dubai they literally build cities on the sea from scratch, I don't see it as impossible, what do you think?
Great point, I was thinking about that too but I would imagine a lot can be done to mitigate these issues and as with most things it's easier to build them at the beginning than adapt existing infrastructure to try and accommodate for them down the road which is a luxury Elon and SpaceX will have.
The Kennedy Space Center was built with the idea that Hurricanes can hit the area. It is also built on swamp land. The difference is, IMO, NASA did extensive studies on picking a site for the Space Center and prepared that site for such events like hurricanes. It appears to me that Starbase will just fix or rebuild anything if something should happen. If you look at the layout of the Space Center vs Starbase, it seems to me there was more thought put into the layout and protection of the KSC.
Hurricanes can happen anywhere.. South Tx. has a lower hurricane track record than say New Orleans , Houston, Florida, or Miss.
I'd move there, but my place would have to be built on stilts.
I hope it’s not just workers that’ll be taking up residence there because I would ABSOLUTELY move there. I don’t like the idea of living in a big city (Idk how big Starbase City is gonna be) but, it sounds awesome! And the effects it could have on the rest of the Rio Grande Valley as a whole?! As someone who used to live there and wants to go back, I really hope to see this city come into fruition.
Thank you The Tesla Space video brilliant rich of element innovative for ploblem in the city.
5 years from now: How Elon Musk plans to create his own country - Starcountry
That will be on Mars I hope, though not sure about 5 years, heh.
I think Elondia (Elandia) or muskland
@@dont_tread_on_me-nh5jp muskville
Yes I Would Definitely Move To Starbase 😂🚀
Hope you like hot humid weather
And good Mexican food
i bought the dips & way ahead..i've ordered the tri motor fsd ct & i can't wait for it to get here!! I may buy the S or the Y in the mean time..i got lots of solar & i love Space X!! we use to live near boca chica.
Will be fun to see how all this plays out.
How can they build underground infrastructure in an area with common floods?
By drinking all the water
I'm convinced that Elon is either from the future or receiving messages from the future. Everything he's working towards seems to be aimed at accelerating the human race towards a very specific goal. He knows more than he's letting on and drip feeding us bits and bobs as and when he deems us ready.
I came to watch this video and I was like wtf that sounds like ITSYEBOI VOICE 💯🤟🏼 I’ll will be for sure subscribing 🔥
Nothing that Elon does is small. This guy is a human dynamo and more power to him.
His ideas and his energy is an inspiration to each and every one of us.
Just look at what he has achieved to date, but wait, there is more to come!
Just saying.
Totally loving this 😍Move again by King 🤴🙌Elon
of the world? watch out when that happens. Too much worship for this guy.
He not no king u the king fam no telling wat this man is he might b a reptilian or sum demonic being bra
Yeah Brownsville definitely needs some revitalization. I can’t imagine it being a boomtown right now.
The 2 lane road from brownsville 2 boca chica beach willl have to be made into a 4 lane. Because of all the construction& semi-trailers that will be passing thru. No one has brought this up..why not??
im 2 years out from seperating from the military and spacex has the exact job i do so i plan on moving there!
As a parks and open space professional I'm ready to start developing beautiful spaces that are tied to the the greatest technological city on the planet. With all the challenges of weather, water, and protecting ecosystems what a great place for modeling parks, trails, open spaces, and community gardens that could be transferable to living on Mars. I'm printing new business cards... Starbase Parks and Rec.
A lot of this sounds like Masdar city to me. I think elon has a chance at making it work because he has a marketable product being produced on site. As apposed to Masdar that basically only had a college and a few stores.
Also it seems like the Texas government is supporting him and willing to work with him. And everyone knows that if you’ve got the government backing you on something, your job just became a whole lot easier and faster.
Buying Tesla stock will be the best financial decision of my life
put all approaching roads and rail to city underground with mass underground parking, using elevators and tube to gain access to surface ,so no messy roads taking up most of the surface area of the city. i wrote the above and as the vid got to half way and you said it, so very pleased.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
soooo cool..!!!
Id live in Elon’s city! Sign me up!
When do we go to Mars Mr. Musk?
I LOVE YOUU
Impracticable. Tunneling in the South Texas desert sounds crazy to any who knows Texas. It’s ok to dream.
Things are looking bright for Starbase. 😃
In your analysis are you including McAllen in the greater Brownsville area?
Just following Elon’s dreams and SUCCESSES, how can one not have confidence in his pursuits. He’s driveling parading shifts in so many segments of mankind. We’re so lucky that he was born.
I would move there yesterday. I would love to work for Elon
Yeeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for something like this.
Tunnels there, below watermark, also pretty awesome if he build few there ^^
The Texas legislative body in changing public beach access statutory law, shows that Texas will do anything needed to be done for Elon Musk to create the City of StarBase in the near future. Alsome video!
Tx. has been attracting a lot of business & commerce from mainly Calif.& Florida..due to these states' strict regulations& political red tape. Also Texas has lower operating costs& lower labor costs.
Bs, they would have to change texas constitution for that to happen.
i think starbase could be the future, also imma subscribe now because i wanna learn more about spaceX
Anyone with great ideas about success would definitely move there and yes, I would move there as well and I'm just a unknown artist. There's so much potential for multiple success opportunities.
Yoooo if he gonna make that kind of city I’m in
Bro, hope you don’t believe it. He talks too much and do too little
Here in Texas we can't go very deep underground, especially near the ocean
Leave it to Elon to figure out a way. And if he can’t, he’ll think of an alternative that’s just as or nearly as efficient.
@@tommoore2012 he'll probably do hyper loop, a vacuum and maybe maglev train system that goes super fast, in the hundreds
@@elongatedshrew5902 Nah. Elon abandoned that idea a few years ago. It was a thought that he had and explored well, but he admitted that it was nothing more than just a side project. Now if some kind of discovery happens that makes the hyper loop more feasible then he’ll probably get on it again.
@@tommoore2012 well it's hard to do tunnels because once the tunnel ends, you com back up and are in traffic again which basically doesn't help. If I'm wrong with how this works please tell me lol
@@elongatedshrew5902 Elon’s plan is to have tunnels going throughout cities that will take someone to just about anywhere in the city that they will want to go. Or at the very least in short walking distance. So with Boring tunnels going all over under ground, and with the original streets still on top, that means traffic will become nearly non-existent. At least half the cars will be using the tunnels (which will be controlled by AI making the travel in them MUCH more efficient and safe) and the other cars will be driving traditionally on the streets. Traffic will become a thing of the past since there will be so much less cars driving.
How great! I’d love that! Never miss a 🚀- even from the middle of no where! 🥰
In the siddhi, City of nowhere keep me rockin
Isn't building a city and putting all the Space X facilities in an area that is hurricane prone kind of a bad idea?
Not with the proper engineering for buildings, floods etc etc. I remember watching a video with Pablo somebody who works for Bill Gates. He was asked if Gates could figure out how to diminish hurricanes. Pablo said it was actually very low tech on how you could do this. Something with tires snd thermal breaks?? But to figure out how to satisfy all the jurisdictions that these breaks would impose was the tricky part. Hurricanes I believe are caused by water current temperatures and air temperatures. They form at a certain time of year. These thermal breaks would bring cooler water to the surface I believe. Sorry this is not my field of expertise. But like butterfly’s wings creating a storm elsewhere we are not sure what effect this might have on other areas of life, say in the sea etc etc. Anyway with the right way of buiding, and working with the water, say floating building areas where water from storms could raise and lower parts of the city, it is very doable. Watch Jaques Fresco cities of the future. He drew up a cool marine city….i am a futurist myself and design cities from scratch. If i won a lot of money i would take on a project like this minus the rockets leaving for space maybe….I would build inland much farther north with climate controlled areas and food production within these areas and oh I could go on……and on….🇨🇦
If Japan could build the greatest city in Tokyo, with a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake prone geography, nothing is impossible in TX lol
Elon didn't even make exploring Mars a bad idea . . . . .
The Futures Bright,
The Futures with Elon Musk!
God be with you Elon!joy, health and Victory be to you....love greetings Stella from Switzerland
Willing to work for life in starbase for residency! 😂 Dang there has to be futuristic restaurants, let me in! Willing to retrain 😂
Why don’t they use the 3D printers to build the homes? Isn’t that how they envision homes on Mars?
That sounds like a good idea.
It would be way cooler. The apartment built with 3D printed compartments and the design look like the night city.
As an Austinite who's sick of the traffic and congestion (not to mention the cost of - everything), and as a fan of SpaceX, I'd move there and hope to work there.
This is the future. This would be exciting to be a part of.
Great, A place that will be a standing monument to Elon Musk where he can have his ego fed as often as he needs.
Jealous much?
They need to look up what happened to similar cities built in China by Chinese billionaires lol. They turned into cult towns very quickly the government had to step in.
It's hard to watch someone who's such an incredibly hard worker having such fantastic success while you're still living in your parents basement, playing video games at age 30, isn't it? LOL
@@LaBamba690 You throw the insults out and can't have a real discussion and you are calling me the child? I don't have to bow down to a person who needs constant praise. I understand that there were much more intelligent people that started the company that he pushed out because they would not feed his ego. He talks a big game, but doesn't do the science or understand it that shows he can not do it. He wanted to nuke Mars to start an atmosphere. He was punished by the SEC because he manipulated Tesla stock price with a false claim. NO, I am no the one who is a child. I don't idolize him alike a little child would.
Great a city for rich elite people.
Wow in my state 😍 I needa go visit
That man is a paradox between John Galt and straight up Bond villain.
You really think Elon musk is gonna build a “great city” in a place prone to hurricane, flooding, and oh yeah rising sea levels??
Pssst!!! Not to much thinking! Most people here are Musk fans. They can't handle to much thought.
It looks pretty in CGI... That is important. Everything else is just overthinking stuff. Don't do it!
The 3 things that will power his city.
I mean I don't see how he couldn't find out how to use that to his advantage if he would put some strong wind farms he could harness the power of the hurricane and just build with sturdier foundations and higher elevation idk just a thought
@@alexanders.1359 nooo i’m from here and we haven’t gotten any hurricanes in years it rains but hurricanes never pass through here
I would also hope he has plans for SECURITY for Starbase. As the whole world knows..drug cartels & underworld entities r very close by..10-15 miles away in Tamps. Mexico. This is a subject no one has talked about.
I'm sure Elon would be able to work out something really great for the remaining residents of that town so he can move on his Starbase city. I don't see him as the kind of person that would just throw someone out because he can. Maybe triple value plus setting them up in Brownsville. That wouldn't cost him all that much in the grand scheme of things.
I absolutely see him as that type of person. I love the company, but don’t like the guy.
Great idea for a star rocket base - but I would locate the city in a more protected area? protected from storms and flooding ... or perhaps if you want to be science fictiony ..... build an underwater city not endangered by storms or rising ocean levels? :) Look out Captain Nemo? :) God Bless, Michael
Tres tres bien ! Every where every time we love Elon ! He is our Genius
I believe this is going to become a reality and I have been researching into it I bet this is the next city to hit 500-600k people in Texas
Brownsville will probably be on the next list of tx.s fastest growing cities in 2022..along with Austin & several others. I recall when (70s-90s) era, when it was 1 of the poorest&backwards cities in texas&possibly the USA. Wow..the times they are a'changin'!!
Elon is - the future everything else is the rear view mirror
Buy stock when u can.!.!.!.
Sewage and water treatment systems are the key to start a city, then central streets with a lot of space.
Good practice for cities in space like the moon & Mars.
Did you forget the floods that can potential damage the underground tunnel or even sink people alive
I doubt that’s gonna happen since it’ll be reinforced
Hi👋
Can't wait!
Will have to move launches offshore. Think they are looking to convert offshore oil drilling platforms.
I wonder what Elon will do with the developing nuclear fusion power, massive breakthrough recently, the reactors may fire up in ~20 years or so!
only for it to always be 20 years away (jkjk)
@@thedalekprince6118 pls nooooo
For all three world superpowers to suddenly be in a hurry to get to the Moon for "scientific and educational progress", I'm betting that sustained fusion is either ready, or that they know exactly when it will be ready. He-3 is the new oil.
@@LeongGunners Yup, though fusion has for a long time been possible, we havent been able to make it release as much energy as we put in, im betting that breakthroughs were made not long ago, but the public havent been told about it until super recently, allowing the tech of countries to improve first, exciting to see what a fusion powered future will bring :D
Honestly I think it depends how the tech advances on its own. Currently Elon seems incline to avoid trying to put his hand in too many pies. After all, he was a big advocate of hyperloop but hasn't done anything with it because it would require turning research away from what he is currently focused on.
