# Elon Musk said on X over the weekend that SpaceX has closed $40 billion in debt financing to buy GPUs , mostly callable so the company can repay early.

## Retrieval answer

SpaceX has raised $40 billion in debt to buy GPUs, according to Elon Musk’s statements on X reported by CoinDesk.

SpaceX has raised $40 billion in debt to buy GPUs, according to Elon Musk’s statements on X reported by CoinDesk. Musk said most of the debt is callable, allowing SpaceX to repay it early.

CoinDesk reports that Musk attributed SpaceX’s access to debt markets to its credit profile and revenue from Starlink internet services and rocket launches. He contrasted that with companies whose revenue depends primarily on AI data centers, saying debt financing has largely closed to businesses without substantial non-data-center revenue.

Musk also said that more than 200 “neocloud” providers, companies that rent AI computing capacity, would consolidate into a small number of survivors. The report says the financing could be used for GPU deliveries expected in the first half of 2027, but notes that Musk did not explicitly make that connection. The source does not establish the lenders, the final GPU supplier, the complete loan terms, or a confirmed delivery schedule.
