SpaceX seeks $40 billion debt financing to buy Nvidia chips

SpaceX is in talks to raise approximately $40 billion in debt financing led by Apollo Global Management to purchase Nvidia chips. The financing would rank among the largest-ever debt raises for AI infrastructure buildout. SpaceX went public in June 2026 and carries a BBB credit rating, making equity issuance less attractive than debt for funding its AI spending.
