The hearing notice published on the Starbase, Texas city government website shows that Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to build, own, and operate a gas-fired power plant in the Starbase area where its enterprise is located, while simultaneously constructing a supercomputing facility. The initial investment for the entire project is expected to be $24 billion. The agenda for the Starbase municipal committee meeting on December 9 includes a review of a tax abatement and development agreement. This project layout is an effort by Musk to promote the vertical integration of SpaceX’s natural gas value chain. Currently, to shorten commissioning periods for facilities, data center developers mostly use natural gas as the primary power generation fuel. SpaceX itself also plans to use liquefied and purified natural gas for certain rocket launch missions.

Tuesday's US October CPI report will lack year-on-year data due to the 2025 government shutdown.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that during the 2025 government shutdown, the BLS was unable to fully collect certain monthly price data, and it will not be possible to retrieve or supplement these data afterward. As a result, there will be a lack of necessary baseline data when calculating the year-on-year changes in CPI and core CPI for October this year. The related year-on-year data for real wage growth will also not be released.
