Elontown (The Texas Slave Labour Community)

[Azza ☠]

Elon Musk dreamt this one up previously to be planed on Mars. He wanted to give free flights to Mars and setup a community there, in which they work for free to pay off the flight, homing, food and if they wish to leave keep working longer hours to pay that off too.

However, I guess Mars didn't work out for the short term planning, so Texas it is! His dream of returning slave labour into America is coming true!

Now not only does Elon Musk want to bring in foreigner immigrants as cheap workers to replace American jobs... He will setup a cult town in Texas to provide those replaced Americans with free homes if they work for him to pay it off, in an endless slave labour community work cycle!

Setup on a thousands of acres of farmland recently bought outside the state capital of Austin. His company employees can be pushed into the "Commuter town" which he owns and they work to pay off.

A number of modular homes are already in place, a pool, an outdoor sports facility, and a gym.

Town name: "Starbase"

Street names: "Boring Boulevard", "Waterjet Way", "Cutterhead Crossing" and "Porpoise Place"

Would you join a cult-like company town setup to have you work and work?

What kind of township would you create, if you had the money?

It personally reminds me of Ludlow, Colorado, 1913, in which there was a company town, citizens got treated as slaves in waking up at 4:30am to work 12 hour shifts. They where forbidden to swear, drink alcohol, and had to attend church, etc. Started off all happy, till the uprising of citizens in 1914 due to a strike over living conditions, in which the owner consider he now owned them all and then killed 19+ of them including the woman and children. R.I.P.

If money was no object I'd build an artificial town complete with greenhouses/hydroponics off the coast in international waters.

Oil rig type constructions with everything a small town would need to function- waste disposal would be an issue mind although I reckon you could recycle human silage into fertilisers for crop production.

Or Fordlandia, where the workers were forced to eat American food and listen to wholesome poetry readings for entertainment, until they rioted and threatened to dismember the overseers.

Or Walt Disney's plans for EPCOT, where people would be used as zoo animals for tourists to gawk at, and Walt himself would be the benevolent dictator.

Yep, I see this as a high risk...

I can't say I've ever created a township, etc, but have played "The Sims" video game and know some history. Hopefully won't play out the same.

I would make something like "Petoria" and really screw it up...

Should've just hired a bunch of undocumented migrants and paid them under the table, less than minimum wage and with no benefits, like every other Soros wannabe.

Let's be honest here, this is whats really gonna happen with "Starbase"

No. Human poo is unsuitable for fertilizer. Drying it and burning for fuel and then using the ash to amend soil would be workable.

Sounds like a perfect recipe to create an eventual ghost town

Yes build the towns existence on working for one company I'm sure that won't go horribly wrong

Long play to reacquire the land for cheaper later on? Idk

If you heard what Elon Musk claimed he wanted to do with Mars, it's utterly nuts! He's actually trying the same dream but just in Texas, so it could become reality, just not as locked down when people actually want to leave.

Elon Musk had originally said he wanted to ensure “anyone can go if they want, with loans available for those who don’t have money.”

When pressed on whether that means workers will “work off the loans” on the harsh Martian surface, Musk said "yes!"... "There will be lots of jobs on Mars!"... anyone who wants to come can do so and just work off their loan.

Except they never really work it off...

This isn't some new concept, it's been done before... as cheap slave forced labour in a community owned by them which they worker have a hard time leaving while sucked in.

I'm pretty sure he's trying to same concept, just in Texas. After failing to reach Mars and knowing Texas cuts laws, taxes and child support costs for himself.

Last time libertarians built a town they were almost eaten by bears.
No bears in Texas though.

In Ancient Egypt, there were several towns belonged to the vicious merciless dictator Rameses II.

Now, they are ALL in ruins or completely gone.

I don't think Elon would be able to deceive God like he deceived millions of naive burghers who worship technology.
