SpaceX has been consistently pressuring locals to leave the town of Boca Chica in Texas, but residents are resilient and have shown a desire to not budge.Willingly or unwillingly, has Elon Musk destroyed a community?
The trailer of a new documentary alludes to the fact that it might have.The documentary sheds spotlight on people living in a village which is a stone throw away from SpaceX’s high-tech rocket launching facility located in Southern Texas.Vice TV has just recently aired a documentary on Sunday.
The documentary titled “Vice Versa: Between Musk and Mars” offers an investigative account of disruption that is caused if a tech giant like SpaceX moves their facility to a certain location especially when the residents are unwelcoming of the move.Elon Musk’s plan is ambitious, but like all industrialists, he is very skewed and apathetic towards earthly matters.
It is reported that he has every intention of taking control over the Boka Village so that he can extend the reach of the facility, build residential complexes for employees and even try to simulate Mars surroundings in the nearby area.
All this will be in accordance with the partial fulfilment of his big dream to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050.
If his tweets are to be believed, he is very serious about that dream, and presumably, if he had to destroy the wildlife and force people out of their homes, he will not flinch from doing so.
