Texas environmental group pushes back against SpaceX's new city
An organization that defends both environmental and Indigenous rights in southern Texas, where Elon Musk recently won an election to build "Starbase City," officially the state's newest municipality, is pushing back against SpaceX's mega projects mushrooming around Boca Chica, amid protected lands and animal sanctuaries. "We are one of the poorest communities in the country, we're low-income people of color communities, and we're dealing with the biggest bully on the planet, Elon Musk," says environmental rights advocate Bekah Hinojosa.

01:19cool I you know I think even going back to World War II you know anytime there's a big project
01:35around something that requires a lot of hands then it only makes sense to have somewhat of a home base
01:41for the people who are going to be working there especially if they're required to be there a lot
01:45to do what they need to do so that's that's pretty cool yeah that'd be exciting this is very much a
01:55David versus Goliath situation we are one of the poorest communities in the country we're low-income
02:02people of color communities and we're dealing with the biggest bully on the planet Elon Musk you know
