Elon Musk reportedly plans to build Texas ‘utopia’ town for employees

KARAH RUCKER: IF YOU’D LIKE TO LIVE IN ELON MUSK’S PROPOSED “UTOPIA” TOWN – GET A JOB AT ONE OF HIS COMPANIES AND YOU COULD BECOME THE NEWEST RESIDENT OF SNAILBROOK.

ACCORDING TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL – ELON MUSK’S COMPANIES HAVE PURCHASED ROUGHLY 35 HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND NEAR AUSTIN, TEXAS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. THE LAND IS ADJACENT TO MUSK-OWNED COMPANY FACILITIES CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

MUSK EMPLOYEES HAVE DESCRIBED IT AS A TEXAS UTOPIA – WHERE HIS WORKERS CAN LIVE FOR CHEAPER RENT. MUSK HAS A TUNNEL OPERATION COMPANY CALLED “BORING” – AND EMPLOYEES THERE WERE ABLE TO APPLY FOR HOUSES BEING RENTED OUT AT 800 DOLLARS A MONTH.

THERE IS A STIPULATION THOUGH – IF YOU’RE FIRED OR LEAVE THE COMPANY – YOU’VE GOT 30 DAYS TO VACATE.

THE SO-CALLED SNAILBROOK UTOPIA APPARENTLY IS AN EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITY FOR MUSK EMPLOYEES. THE SITE ALREADY INCLUDES MODULAR HOMES, A POOL, AND A SPORTS REC CENTER ACCORDING TO PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH THE TOWN WHO SPOKE TO THE POST. 

WHILE NO PAPERS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE COUNTY TO APPLY FOR AN OFFICIAL TOWN-STATUS – EMPLOYEES ON THE INSIDE SAY SNAILBROOK HAS REAL POTENTIAL.

EMPLOYEES SAID THERE WAS A MEETING HELD LAST YEAR TO DISCUSS THE TOWN’S CREDENTIALS. THEY NEED 201 RESIDENTS. THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOLD AN ELECTION FOR MAYOR. WHICH MEANS OF THE MANY TITLES, MUSK HAS MAYOR MUSK COULD BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
