I wouldn't be surprised if Musk tries this. Seems like there's some land in Idaho or around that part that he could move all his companies to and his cult of personality might follow.

That sounds nice, but I have 0 faith in any of the big entrepreneurs out there to successfully run this. It will end up like that one Disney-run town in the 90s: corners cut everywhere, residents with 0 representation, just a mess all around. The fact remains is any company making a town/city will want a tangible return on it, and that fundamentally conflicts with how a municipal government is ran.

I don't think the company would try to create the town, they'd just start building office space and hiring people to move there. Then the town would grow around them.
