IA : Elon Musk veut lever 40 milliards de dollars de dette pour acheter des puces Nvidia

SpaceX, the company of billionaire Elon Musk, is planning to raise $40 billion in debt to finance the purchase of Nvidia chips for its data centers. According to Le Monde Economie, this massive borrowing illustrates the intense capital-raising drive sparked by the development of artificial intelligence.

The move is part of SpaceX's broader ambitions, particularly for its Starlink satellite internet service, which generated over $18.6 billion in revenue last year, with Starlink accounting for more than 60% of this total and being the only profitable part of the business, as reported by Business Insider.

SpaceX plans to launch tens of thousands more satellites in the coming years to expand its Starlink network and transform it into a premier wireless carrier and broadband provider, targeting new markets.
