SpaceX Village<\/p>\n

Business Insider spotted an, uh, intriguing job listing on SpaceXs careers: a project coordinator for a SpaceX Village situated next to the companys Boca Chica launch site for its colossal, in-development Starship rocket.<\/p>\n

The puzzling, since-removed listing advertised amenities including volleyball tournaments, rock climbing, kayaking, and a spaceport lounge (restaurant and bar).<\/p>\n

Gotta ask: what are you doing Elon? Its not clear, per BI, whether the purpose of the village is to house SpaceX employees in posh environs or to create a tourist attraction as a parallel revenue stream for the launch site.<\/p>\n

Further complicating things, BI also reports that SpaceX is attempting to snap up land for the village from an existing retirement community on the site a process thats become acrimonious.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has already bought out about half the residents, though others reportedly dont plan to move and have secured a law firm to help fight SpaceXs incursions.<\/p>\n

One resident told BI that she found the job listing shocking and saddening, and described a community meeting at which Musk personally tried to convince residents to leave the area.<\/p>\n

Elon was three feet from me, and he looked right down at me and he said, You wont want to live here, itll be inhospitable,' she told BI.<\/p>\n
