Elon Musk Reportedly Consulted with Kanye West to Build ‘Texas Utopia’

Elon Musk has asked Kanye West to help build his own town in Texas.

according to wall street journalThe billionaire entrepreneur plans to build a “Texas utopia” on newly purchased 3,500 acres of pasture and farmland in Bastrop County, about 35 miles from Austin, where he employees were able to live and work.

Twitter’s CEO is said to have consulted with West and his architects several times over the last year on extensive ideas and some visual mockups, but no final plans. According to reports, Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes was also in the discussion.

Dubbed Snailbrook, the planned town is adjacent to Musk’s Boring Co. and SpaceX facilities and already includes a group of modular homes, a pool, an outdoor sports area and a gym.

The plans are confidential and landowners are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Musk has yet to file an application to incorporate the town. This will allow his Austin-area employees to live in new homes for below-market rents.

Kanye has ambitious plans to build his own mini city. Last year, his team filed a series of trademark applications for a mini-his community called “Yecosystem,” which consists of homes and retail stores selling Yecosystem-branded food and beverages.

“He’s trying to do shit that people couldn’t even imagine, and he’s trying to make it happen,” the source said. rolling stone“He came from a good place. Everything that people touch belongs to him, and there is no doubt that his goal is to make a positive impact on the world.”

In 2019, Ye sought to build his own residential project on a 300-acre property he owns in Calabasas. The dome-like prototype structure was eventually demolished after neighbors filed complaints and determined the project violated building codes.
