SpaceX now owns the entire property. Texas wanted the SpaceX facility, and construction has tripled.
Musk isn't running people out of there homes, in fact they are building more homes. Boca Chica even now has a grocery store. And a medical clinic.

The only problem with that is , any one who likes living out in the boonies, no suits or godwannabes screwing up your life, probably will wish for the good old days eventually.
There are housing strips, literally, in my home town, where they would build a short access road may by three-eighths of a mile long and build a strip of houses a mile , plus or minus,  out side the city limits.
Now they are surrounded by strip plazas and other  business bric-a-brac.
They miss the days they were surrounded by farms.

My little home town just finished about 60 thrown together brick homes, and a new middle school on the  west side of town.
A half mile south of my house, they are surveying for a new water treatment plant, and a 300 home edition, followed by an additional 900 more homes when that's finished.
I'll be gone about the middle of January good Lord willing.

My wife and I drove to Boca Chica many years ago. The only thing we found was water, sand, and proof that prickly pear will grow anywhere. Isn't it amazing how places change over time? I'm not convinced this is a good one but guess it was an inexpensive purchase for Space-X. Yeah, I know I'm late to this topic. See my user name if you need an explanation why.

  Hmmm... For sure, no matter what happens, Nancy Pelosi will not be welcome there!  ...Because Google says, Boca Chica translates to "small mouth"!
   There is the possibility that something may happen in northern Nevada too.  My daughter-in-law's son by her first marriage, works for Tesla, and he said Musk was there about 3-4 years ago..went to the top of a mountain and told his aide....."Buy all the land you see from here" !    ...Go figure ..
