  1. SpaceX Eyes $40 Billion Debt Financing for Nvidia AI Chips

    Elon Musk-led SpaceX is negotiating to borrow $40 billion in financing led by Apollo and banks to purchase Nvidia artificial intelligence chips. About $10 billion of the massive debt package would originate from banks. This effort ranks among the largest debt financings dedicated to the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom.

    The massive debt push arrives after SpaceX completed a record-breaking initial public offering in June. Since that market debut, interest rates have sold off, and yields on bonds tied to artificial intelligence have risen. Industry heavyweights continue to borrow billions to build and lease data centers, deepening ties between hardware giants like Nvidia and aerospace firms expanding into computing infrastructure.
