Summary
According to a post on X by @HedgieMarkets, SpaceX has signed a commitment to lease roughly $40 billion of Nvidia chips through a fund managed by Apollo. SpaceX calls it the largest GPU financing ever. Payments are expected to run about five years and start when the chips arrive in 2027. The post notes that these payments would roughly double the about $38 billion of debt SpaceX carried at the end of September.

What happened
SpaceX signed a commitment to lease roughly $40 billion of Nvidia chips through a fund managed by Apollo, which it calls the largest GPU financing ever. Payments run about five years and start when the chips arrive in 2027, roughly doubling the about $38 billion of debt SpaceX carried at the end of September....
Why it matters
The deal shows one way large AI chip purchases are being structured, using a lease backed by a fund rather than a direct purchase. For SpaceX, its debt load could roughly double once payments begin, so the timing against the 2027 chip deliveries is worth tracking. The figures come from a social post, so they should be checked against SpaceX or Apollo statements before being relied on.
