SpaceX Seeks 40 Billion Dollars to Buy Nvidia AI Chips, Led by Apollo
SpaceX拟融资400亿美元采购英伟达AI芯片，阿波罗全球管理牵头
SpaceX is seeking to raise about 40 billion dollars to purchase Nvidia artificial-intelligence chips, the Financial Times reported on October 6, in one of the largest financings ever tied to computing hardware. The deal, led by Apollo Global Management, would combine roughly 10 billion dollars in bank loans with 30 billion dollars in investment-grade debt. The fundraising highlights how AI data centers have turned compute hardware into a major new asset class. It comes as Wall Street has been assembling even bigger AI chip financing packages, including a separate 60-billion-dollar deal tied to Broadcom and Anthropic. SpaceX, the rocket company founded by Elon Musk, has been rapidly expanding its Starlink and AI ambitions, and the chip order is expected to power its growing satellite and data-center operations.
英国《金融时报》10月6日报道，SpaceX正寻求融资约400亿美元用于采购英伟达AI芯片，这是有史以来规模最大的算力硬件融资交易之一。该交易由阿波罗全球管理公司牵头，将包括约100亿美元银行贷款和300亿美元投资级债券。这笔融资凸显出AI数据中心已将算力硬件变成一个重要的新资产类别。与此同时，华尔街还在为AI芯片筹划更大规模的融资，包括一笔与博通和Anthropic相关的600亿美元交易。由埃隆·马斯克创立的火箭公司SpaceX正在快速扩张其星链和AI业务，这批芯片将用于支持其不断增长的卫星和数据中心运营。
