Reuters reported that SpaceX plans a roughly $24 billion gas power plant and computing project in Starbase, Texas. Reuters first reported the Starbase proposal.
In Guadalupe County, commissioners approved CloudBurst Texas development and tax-abatement agreements on April 21, each by a 3–2 vote. The April 21 minutes record Jacqueline Ott and Stephen Germann voting against both CloudBurst agreements. That county decision is a local comparison for taxpayers; the reported SpaceX project is in Starbase.

Cochise County application site
U.S. Highway 191
Separate application by Tombstone Resources LLC
A separate Arizona application
Cochise County's filed application identifies Tombstone Resources LLC as the applicant for a roughly 747-acre data center campus along U.S. Highway 191. The application describes up to nine computing buildings and planned full-build-out demand of up to 6 gigawatts. The filing identifies the Arizona applicant and proposed scale; it supplies no basis for assigning the Arizona proposal a SpaceX price tag.
Site plan from the record
The Texas Tribune reported that a December tax-relief hearing is planned for the Starbase project. Readers can inspect the Cochise County application to track the separate Arizona proposal; the hearing record will be the next public check on the reported Texas plan.
