Quoting Elon Musk, who says debt markets have almost entirely shut off funding for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, backed by investment-grade rating plus Starlink and launch revenue. He predicts guppy-level death and consolidation among the 200+ neoclouds.
Stéphane Béranger adds it's no coincidence that the big 3 hyperscalers are attached to large cash-flow-rich public businesses, and expects SpaceX and Meta to make more moves in this space.
