lon Musk said SpaceX had completed a $40 billion debt-financing deal intended to fund purchases of Nvidia graphics processing units, highlighting the enormous cost of expanding artificial-intelligence computing infrastructure. The planned hardware deliveries were expected during the first half of 2027, as demand for advanced processors continued to rise.

Musk also warned that specialist AI cloud-computing companies could face consolidation or failure if they lacked substantial revenue beyond data-centre operations. The deal illustrates how the AI race increasingly depends on access to capital, computing hardware and the infrastructure needed to operate large-scale AI systems.
