44. If you look at Google Maps, you'll see that the mouth of the Rio Grande

Nov 21

has shifted a bit north of the border line - so there is a small patch of the US that's on the south side of the river (at least that's how it appears). It's mostly saltwater marshes in that area which shift around with storms and Musk put his testing HQ right on the border. Like NEXT to the river. Playa Baghdad is the beach south of the Rio Grande; it extends south for miles.

You can see on Google that Mexicans drive their trucks up the beach to the river mouth. There's also a pin that says "Mirador Space X" - it is a popular (?) viewing area for Space X launches.
