Starbase – the place in Texas, USA, where tech billionaire Elon Musk's company Space X is building its rockets – is now officially a town. This became clear after a vote on Saturday, local time, in which the residents of the area voted in favor of the idea with a clear majority.

Of the 283 eligible voters in the area, most are believed to be employed by Space X.

"Starbase, Texas, is now a real town!", writes Elon Musk himself on X.
