Elon Musk’s SpaceX this week revealed it plans to build a multibillion-dollar data center and gas plant in Starbase, Texas, a move that appears to circumvent a recently enacted local ban on such projects.
The $24 billion gas-fired power plant and supercomputing facility will be built on land in Starbase, SpaceX’s company town, just outside of Brownsville, according to a notice of a public hearing posted on Starbase’s website. The move appears to circumvent Brownsville’s ban on data centers, which went into effect earlier this month.
