Tech Giants Shift to Debt Markets for AI Infrastructure Funding
What happened
Amazon is seeking to raise at least US$25 billion from the U.S. bond market through an eight-part offering of notes. Separately, Elon Musk stated that SpaceX will exclusively build on Nvidia's Vera Rubin architecture going forward. This trend reflects a broader shift where major technology companies are using debt and equity to fund AI infrastructure, with combined spending expected to exceed US$730 billion this year.
