SpaceX plans a $24 billion gas-fired power plant and computing facility at Starbase in Cameron County, The Texas Tribune reported Tuesday.
For scale, $24 billion is about 122 times Guadalupe County’s $197.3 million adopted FY2027 all-funds budget. That comparison measures the proposed investment against one year of county spending; it is not a projected cost to local taxpayers.
