@btnewsroom: “SpaceX should not come here at all. Leave us alone.” Governor Jeff Landry confirmed on Tuesday plans for “Starbase Louisiana,” a $100-billion SpaceX launch facility near Louisiana's Pecan Island. "Gator Queen" Liz Choate, former star of "Swamp People," told BT News she and her neighbors have been shut out and kept in the dark about the plans. Elon Musk recently announced a partnership with Nvidia to develop orbital space-based data centers, leading to speculation that the more than 130,000 acres acquired in the Pecan Island land deal could be used for natural gas extraction and solar power infrastructure to support these plans as well. Pecan Island is one of the last undeveloped stretches of Louisiana coastline and is a critical route for migrating birds. It was acquired by the state for SpaceX’s development from Exxon Mobile, which has leased it for public use since the 1950s.

Everyone has a problem when a new industry comes to their community yet the will bitch and gripe about no decent paying jobs. The area she is talking about is almost in the middle of nowhere

The government's allowing these multi-million and billionaires trampol on everyone everywhere here lately in the United States act like everything is up for sale and everything can be pushed out of it away so they can have what other people are sitting on. I didn't know everything was up for grabs here lately

Space x is going to help Louisiana grow After the oil field crashed ppl started working in plants. Theres only so many jobs there with extremely strict codes. Space x is going to create over 20k jobs right there and more work for dredging companies marine construction companies iron workers fab shops. Even mechanic shops. This is a major w for Louisiana and if you want to make money with them. Start your business now! Rather its food. Grocery. Camper park laundromats. Ice machines. Alot of people are coming from out of state and no one is going to stop that. Ride the wave and get rich.

sorry folks but as a lifelong resident of Louisiana for 52 years I can tell you this state is in despair and it has been for decades. they are not going to turn down any viable economic opportunities that want to come here not at all. people keep saying who does she vote for blah blah that doesn't make a fuck! if John Bel Edwards was still in office SpaceX would still be coming I guarantee
