I DO NOT SEE THE PROBLEM:  JUST STATIC NONSENSE NOISE FOR THE SAKE OF IT

This land for the most part is owned by private landowners.  If those landowners want to work with Musk for whatever reason, unless it violates zoning laws, it is not my concern.

There is no evidence, zilch, that the land will be developed for a DATA center.  Governor Abbott has made clear, any DATA centers approved will have to provide their own water and electricity.  If it becomes a DATA center under Abbott's rules, it is adjacent to the port and landfill.  These DATA centers are going to happen, so is there a better location in Cameron County?

I do not support any of this.  But we cannot stop it.  But what we can do is be reasonable and compromise.  I have not read a word about how a DATA center would hurt any neighborhood in the area.  Also, the fact of the matter is, other than a paid hack, no one is suggesting the land will be used for a DATA center.

Elon Musk is offering to put on the table $220 million dollars for critical water projects.  We desperately need water.  The state is certainly not going to help us.

It is amazing to me Elon Musk is willing to put $220 million on the table for water in exchange for the COB giving up its extraterritorial jurisdiction over the land.  If the actual landowners want to sell the land to Elon Musk, it is their land. This is a win for Brownsville.

My questioning why people are making such a big deal over this, does not change the fact, I predicted this was going to happen over a year ago.

We cannot change what is happening, but we can try and work with Elon Musk to mitigate the situation.
