Elon Musk's rocket launch site Starbase, home to his California-born company SpaceX, is on its way to becoming a Texas city after lopsided early voting results — with ballots probably cast mostly by his employees.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Voters are set to decide Saturday if the South Texas home of Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket company should become an official city known as Starbase, fulfilling the billionaire’s dream of a galactic dateline for a program he hopes will someday blast astronauts to Mars.

Residents of a small South Texas town that's home to Elon Musk’s SpaceX have voted to incorporate into a new city.
