SpaceX plans to invest more than $74 billion across two AI supercomputing campuses, one in Texas and one in Arizona.
The Texas facility at Starbase, estimated at over $24 billion, will sit on about 444 acres near Brownsville and generate its own power off the public grid. The project has already created over 3,000 construction jobs.
The roughly $50 billion Arizona campus in Cochise County could scale up to 6 gigawatts, though it still needs county approvals. The Starbase city commission will weigh a property tax break for the Texas project on December 9.
Gov. Katie Hobbs beat Rep. Andy Biggs by 13 points statewide. In the East Valley, a longtime GOP stronghold, she won by 10.6 points, a 21-point swing from 2024.
Democrats also flipped two U.S. House seats and took both chambers of the state legislature for the first time in 60 years. Republican Mark Lamb barely held the 5th District seat Biggs had held.
Turning Point USA had put $18.3 million behind Biggs, but Hobbs raised about three times as much money.
