Ronnie Mola: 作为 Sherwood News 的资深记者，我亲身前往德克萨斯州，考察了埃隆·马斯克正在建设的 Snailbrook 小镇。Snailbrook 位于奥斯汀郊外，紧邻 SpaceX 和 Boring Company，旨在打造一个集生活和工作于一体的乌托邦。然而，现实情况与马斯克的愿景相去甚远。目前，Snailbrook 只有 15 个拖车房、一个小型游泳池和一个健身房，商业中心也只有一家小商店和一些娱乐设施，而且人烟稀少。尽管马斯克计划建造更多住房和学校，但进展缓慢，且面临监管挑战。我认为，Snailbrook 的建设是为了吸引和留住员工，但其吸引力远不如奥斯汀等成熟城市。此外，马斯克似乎也想借此提升个人声誉，并可能在未来通过公司化来控制该镇的法律。
Noelle King: 我认为，Snailbrook 的建设反映了埃隆·马斯克将其公司迁往德克萨斯州的趋势。马斯克希望通过提供住房、学校等福利来吸引员工，但 Snailbrook 的现状与他的宏伟目标之间存在巨大差距。此外，公司小镇的历史表明，这种模式并非总是成功，劳资纠纷、公司权力过大等问题都可能出现。Snailbrook 的未来取决于马斯克是否能够兑现承诺，并为员工创造一个真正宜居的生活和工作环境。
Deep Dive
This chapter explores Elon Musk's ambitious Snailbrook project, a company town built near Austin, Texas. It examines the current state of the town, which currently consists of trailers, a few amenities, and mostly empty spaces, contrasting this with Musk's vision of a "utopian" live-work community. The chapter also highlights the disconnect between Musk's grand visions for his other companies and the underdeveloped state of Snailbrook itself.
- Snailbrook is currently under construction and far from a utopia.
- The town consists mainly of trailers, a small pool, gym and a few amenities.
- The project contrasts sharply with Musk's other high-tech ventures.
- Significant discrepancies exist between Musk's vision and the reality on the ground.
