‘The Big Money Show’ panel discusses SpaceX reporting a 161% revenue increase as Elon Musk addresses a potential Tesla merger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Elon Musk said SpaceX has closed $40 billion in debt financing to purchase graphics processing units for its artificial intelligence operations, highlighting the enormous sums being spent in the race to build AI computing capacity.<\/p>\n

Musk announced the financing on Sunday, saying SpaceX was able to secure the money because of its investment-grade status and revenue generated outside AI through its Starlink satellite internet and rocket launch businesses.<\/p>\n

“SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue,” Musk said.<\/p>\n

Graphics processing units, or GPUs, are advanced chips that provide the computing power needed to train and operate AI systems.<\/p>\n

Reuters previously reported that SpaceX was in talks with banks and asset managers to raise $40 billion to purchase Nvidia AI chips.<\/p>\n

“This is primarily callable debt for GPU purchases that will arrive in Q1 and Q2,” Musk said in a follow-up post on X, confirming that the GPUs are expected to arrive in the first half of 2027. “Not a major factor this quarter.”<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether investors had agreed to the debt’s pricing terms.<\/p>\n

The funding underscores the cost of the AI race, as companies spend heavily on advanced chips and other computing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

SpaceX Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen said the company expects to spend $35 billion to $40 billion on capital expenditures in the fourth quarter alone, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Musk also said borrowing conditions have deteriorated significantly for companies that rely heavily on AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

“As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers,” he said.<\/p>\n

Musk warned that many of those companies could struggle to survive.<\/p>\n

“That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation,” Musk said, referring to companies that rent out computing power built primarily for AI customers. “Some will make it through, but not many.”<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s established businesses, including Starlink and rocket launches, provide revenue streams outside its AI operations.<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s third-quarter revenue climbed 161% from a year earlier to $14.58 billion, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Musk suggested last week that a potential merger of Tesla and SpaceX would be “a good idea.”<\/p>\n

He also said both companies have formed special committees of independent directors to explore a potential deal, though Musk stressed that a merger is not certain.<\/p>\n
