SpaceX reportedly in talks to finance a $40 billion purchase of NVIDIA chips

One anonymous source, preliminary talks, mostly debt. A report of talks, not a deal.

CNBC reports that SpaceX is in preliminary talks with Apollo and banks to finance a $40 billion purchase of NVIDIA GPUs, mainly through investment-grade debt.

The report rests on one anonymous person, and one other outlet attributes it to the Financial Times. There's no filing and no company statement. These are reported talks, not a confirmed deal.
