  • Do you maybe want Scenic Brook, Texas or Springbrook, Texas?

  • Snailbrook is not a town just yet.

  • It is currently under construction outside of Austin.

  • The builder, one Elon Musk, says Snailbrook will be a company town for employees of his boring company and X and etc.

  • He has plans for it to be.

  • Quote, utopian, which, I mean, it's got a long way to go, it's got a lot of rough edges, and it's definitely nothing that you would call like a utopia.

  • So far, it's just 15 trailers.

  • Coming up on Today explained Elon Musk takes us back to the days of the company town, whether we care to go or not.

  • I don't see the draw personally, to wanting to go out in the middle of nowhere and then live in a tiny trailer.
