SpaceX reportedly seeks $40B in debt to buy Nvidia chips, with Apollo in talks

The Financial Times reports SpaceX is seeking about $40B in debt to buy Nvidia chips, with Apollo named as a likely lender. Semafor's analysis says SpaceX's AI spending exceeds what its other businesses earn, its shares have been flat since the June listing, and its BBB rating is harder to sell to blue-chip bond funds. No SpaceX comment is reported.
