40 billion dollars in AI chip financing for SpaceX, originally arranged to fund a large GPU purchase, is now being marketed by Goldman Sachs and Apollo Global Management. Reuters confirmed that Goldman Sachs and Apollo are courting investors for the $40 billion AI chip package, and Bloomberg echoed the report, referencing Bloomberg News.
Seeking Alpha noted the magnitude of the financing and its relevance to the AI hardware sector. The Information observed that Apollo is outspending the so‑called neocloud providers on AI chips, a stance that may make the package more attractive to buyers focused on chip‑centric strategies.
The same source suggested that the financing terms may become a negotiating point as potential buyers assess risk, meaning the sale could hinge on how the higher cost environment is priced into the deal in the current market.
