SpaceX to Keep $40B AI Chip Debt Off Balance Sheet

marketbrief.now

SpaceX will use a special purpose vehicle to secure $40B in funding for AI hardware purchases without affecting its investment-grade credit rating, with graphics processing units scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2027. The borrowing supports the company's AI business, which became its largest unit after reporting $7.56B in Q3 revenue, a ninefold increase over the prior year.
