SpaceX closed 40 billion dollars of debt for GPUs on Sunday, at a price that more than 200 neoclouds cannot match.

  • The borrowing sits in a special purpose vehicle and is callable, with chips arriving in the first half of 2027. Starlink and launch revenue sit behind the loan, not GPU hours.
  • SpaceX AI revenue hit 7.56 billion dollars in the third quarter, up ninefold from 813 million a year earlier.
  • CoreWeave notes issued in June trade below 80 cents on the dollar, a yield above 15 percent, with five year swaps near 1,100 basis points.
  • The physical build is not slowing. SemiAnalysis counts 51.2 gigawatts of new capacity outside China for 2027, roughly double this year.
  • Gartner expects more than 80 percent of neocloud providers to stop operating independently by 2030.

The operator takeaway is a contract clause. If you hold a multi year GPU reservation, read the assignment and change of control terms before the counterparty gets sold. Read the full analysis of the 40 billion dollar loan.
