Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O) is hiring a trader to build and lead a natural‑gas
trading desk focused on physical and financial gas trades to meet rising fuel
and power needs. The posting highlights the role of fuels for power plants and
manufacturing as SpaceX expands into chip production and space projects. Earlier
this month SpaceX said it plans to build a gas‑fired power plant to supply a
large semiconductor facility it is developing with Tesla in Texas. Surging power
demand from data centres and new plants has pushed market interest in new
gas‑fired capacity. SpaceX's Starship uses cryogenic methane — the main
component of natural gas — combined with liquid oxygen as propellant.
