Musk’s SpaceX Moves To Turn Starbase Site Into a Texas City

Elon Musk’s aerospace firm SpaceX has filed to incorporate Starbase – located in Boca Chica, near Brownsville, South Texas – into a city of its own. 

The filing, made on Thursday, was on behalf of the “entire Starbase community” and emphasized that incorporation would help Starbase “streamline” the process of building amenities for the “hundreds already calling it home.”

In June, it was recorded that 3,400 full-time SpaceX employees and contractors worked at the Starbase facility where the company builds and launches rockets. The company also generates some 21,400 indirect jobs in the local community.

Musk first mentioned incorporating Starbase in 2021, writing on social media that he was “creating” the city and naming its leader “the Doge.” But Starbase isn't Musk's only company town in the works; he's also building a “Texas Utopia” several hundred miles north.

This Could Change Crypto Forever

In the latest episode of Paradigm Profits, Enrique Abeyta and Greg Guenthner discuss what Google's new quantum chip, Willow, means for the world of crypto.

To paint a picture of Willow's astounding power, consider that in five minutes, Willow can perform a computation that takes the current leading supercomputers 10 septillion years – a timespan longer than the age of the universe!

In this video, Enrique breaks down Willow's mechanics in easy to understand language before diving into the possible ramifications on crypto mining, encryption, and more.

Enrique and Greg also include a way to trade this massive opportunity!

Will AI Destroy the World?

In the past 100 years, the world has almost ended a handful of times. One of the most famous instances involved a lieutenant colonel, Stanislav Petrov, who was sitting in a Soviet bunker when his radar screen screamed "incoming nuclear missiles."

The protocol? Alert the generals, launch the counterstrike, and effectively end life on Earth. But Stanislav decided it was a false alarm – based on nothing more than gut instinct. He disobeyed orders and saved the world.

A machine, no matter how sophisticated, would have followed the protocol. This is the kind of high-stakes scenario I recently talked about with my good friend and colleague Jim Rickards. 

Without human "gut instinct" in the loop, will AI destroy the world?
