Will his employees be paid in company scrip with Musk’s high-as-a-kite smile on it?

The young men (27ish) voting on this ballot have zero voting experience. This will not end well for the residents, for Texas nor our beaches.

Setting up his own “village”, just like Jonestown.

More of a company town. The first but not last that the tech oligarchs want to create.

“Around the current Gigafactory and still-under-construction Boring Co., Musk's properties are always expanding. There are plans for 110 homes for workers on FM 1209 – nicknamed Project Awesome – with a liquor license for a bistro already obtained.”

Why am I getting “bridge to nowhere” vibes about this?
Hey Texas! In the midst of a world economic crisis of historic proportions, let’s sign on taxpayer dollars to support a man now universally hated. What could possibly go wrong?
