- Musk says SpaceX raised $40 bln in debt, warns of neocloud collapse
Elon Musk said SpaceX closed 40 billion USD in debt financing to buy AI chips and warned that more than 200 specialised cloud providers face widespread failures and consolidation as credit tightens. He said debt markets have almost shut off funding for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX secured the loan thanks to its investment-grade credit and revenue from Starlink and rocket launches, unlike neocloud providers that rely on renting computing capacity to AI developers. The debt mainly funds GPUs expected in Q1 and Q2 2027, following earlier reports that SpaceX sought 40 billion USD for Nvidia chips. Investors are increasingly concerned about debt-funded AI infrastructure, with neoclouds such as CoreWeave and Nebius exposed to financing costs and demand uncertainty.
- SpaceX closes $40 billion debt deal for AI chips, Elon Musk says
Elon Musk said SpaceX has closed $40 billion in debt financing to buy GPUs for AI systems, adding that the company is investment grade and earns revenue from Starlink and rocket launches. He said the financing, mainly callable debt for GPUs, is expected to arrive in the first and second quarters of 2027. Bloomberg reported that the debt was structured through a special purpose vehicle to keep it off SpaceX's balance sheet and preserve its investment-grade ratings, with Goldman Sachs leading talks with investors including Apollo Global Management. SpaceX's AI business, which it calls ‘Super Intelligence’ (SI), is now its largest unit, with third-quarter revenue surging ninefold to $7.56 billion from $813 million a year earlier. Musk also predicted that more than 200 neocloud companies would face widespread failures and consolidation, as debt markets have largely shut off financing for firms without substantial revenue outside AI data centers.
- Elon Musk Just Gave Fantastic News for Nvidia Investors
SpaceX (SPCX) reported revenue up 161% and net income of $4.4 billion, its first quarterly profit. Its AI business, now called SI (Super Intelligence), saw sales rise 835% year over year, driven by compute deals, the acquisition of coding company Cursor and enterprise adoption of the Grok model, and it posted $431 million in operating income. The company rents compute power from its Colossus I cluster, with agreements with Alphabet and Anthropic worth $920 million and $1.2 billion in monthly revenue, respectively. Musk said Colossus II will mainly use Nvidia's Vera Rubin infrastructure, requiring 440,000 Vera Rubin computers for optimal training. Musk thinks SpaceX could reach $500 billion to $1 trillion in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by the end of 2027, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang forecast $1 trillion in sales through 2027 from Blackwell and Rubin, and Wall Street expects Nvidia sales of $692 billion next year, a 68% increase. The author views Musk's use of full Vera Rubin computer systems as good news for Nvidia.
- Elon Musk Eyes SpaceX-Tesla Merger, Huang Pitches ‘Financeable’ Chips, Zuckerberg Wants More Compute: Mag 7 Voices This Week
Elon Musk said a SpaceX–Tesla merger would be “a good idea,” but called a deal uncertain, as both companies’ boards have formed special committees that have not agreed on any terms. In SpaceX’s Q3 results, its Super Intelligence segment generated $7.6 billion in revenue, surpassing Starlink as its largest business. Musk said the main constraint on AI deployment is power, cooling and infrastructure rather than chips, and SpaceX plans to add about 20 gigawatts of capacity by the end of 2027, while some gas-turbine components face 12 to 18 month delays. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang said its computing hardware should become a “financeable asset,” estimating that a one-gigawatt AI factory costs about $50 billion and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue. Wedbush said his comments on neocloud financing helped spark Thursday’s selloff.
- SpaceX Says It’s on Pace to Bring 200,000 Nvidia Chips Online a Month. Here’s Why Jensen Huang Calls GPU-Backed Loans “the Big Idea”
Nvidia (NVDA) closed at $221.97 on October 21, up 2.54%, a day after SpaceX said on its earnings call it expects to bring about 200,000 Nvidia GB300s online each month for the rest of the year. According to the Financial Times, SpaceX is seeking about $40 billion in loans and investment-grade debt to buy the chips, with Apollo expected to lead; a source told CNBC the deal would likely use the GPUs as collateral, though Bloomberg reports talks are early and could fail. Nvidia is both a supplier and a SpaceX shareholder, with a stake worth about $21 billion at the end of June. The article's main risk is financing: if rental rates fall, collateral value falls too, and Nvidia's free cash flow dropped to $21.40 billion in the July quarter from $48.59 billion the prior quarter.
- CNBC Daily Open: AI spending fears haunt markets before Halloween
U.S. stocks fell as concerns over AI spending weighed on the market, with the Nasdaq down more than 2% and the S&P 500 down 1.2%, while oil prices jumped, with Brent settling at $113.17 per barrel and WTI at $99.47. Meta shares slumped nearly 7% after the company reported negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion in the third quarter and raised the bottom of its full-year capex range to $135–145 billion from $130 billion. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell more than 17 basis points to 4.972%, dipping below 5% for the first time in about a month. Elon Musk has committed roughly $366 million to the 2026 election cycle across at least 40 races, with at least $276 million going to Republican groups and his America PAC, while SpaceX has received at least $6.78 billion in federal work so far this year. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said a memory surplus is unlikely by 2029, despite a recent sell-off in memory stocks.

- What President Trump wants to do with both Ukraine and Russia
President Trump said the US will do business with both Ukraine and Russia after the conflict ends, despite criticism of efforts to restore trade ties with Moscow. He argued Washington should have secured greater financial returns from the billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv under Joe Biden. The announcement came as the first Russian diesel tanker, which left the Primorsk port, was en route to New York under a supply deal announced on October 9, covering 40,000 tonnes of fuel. Moscow then eased restrictions on diesel exports, allowing production of 500,000 tonnes, which would be the first time since 2022 that Russian diesel has been shipped to the US. Trump said the deal aims to ease fuel costs before the November midterm elections, but a plan to import about 900,000 tonnes of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from European allies, Ukraine and members of Congress, who say the cargoes could evade sanctions.
- Signs French protests have not peaked; second wave about to begin?
France’s Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined marches on 24/10, and 70,000 police were deployed to prevent a repeat of the looting seen in riots that spread across several cities on 17/10. Union leaders have called for protests on 31/10 and a nationwide strike on 5/11, citing growing anger over wages, living costs and public services, and the Yellow Vest movement has called for large marches on the same Saturday. The government has opened talks with unions and student representatives, but protest leaders say they have received no response so far. Police unions warn they cannot sustain such high deployment, and 1,314 people were arrested on 24/10, about half the previous week’s number, with around 50 officers injured. Macron, whose term ends in April next year, has limited room to meet demands due to strained public finances and no longer holds a majority for key bills.

- Keystone says website breach exposed hardware wallet buyers’ addresses
Hardware wallet maker Keystone said an unauthorized third party accessed customer shipping information through a website breach, including names, contact details, shipping addresses and order details, after it confirmed the incident on Friday following a review of API activity with Shopify. The company said it has blocked access, fixed the vulnerability, opened an investigation and is emailing affected customers, but did not disclose how many were impacted. Security researcher Taylor Monahan warned the leaked addresses could expose holders to physical attacks and kidnappings, and blockchain security firm CertiK recorded 52 verified wrench attacks worldwide in the first half of 2026, up 33% from the same period last year. Some customers said they received breach notices despite buying devices more than two years ago, raising questions about Keystone’s 2023 pledge to cut data retention to 180 days. Keystone had not responded to Cointelegraph’s questions by publication time.
- Rules on reissuing old land certificates that list “thổ cư” as the land type
A resident reported that his father’s land certificate, issued in February 1995, lists 1,100 m² of “thổ cư” land, and the land registration office returned the reissuance file because the area exceeded the limit and this land type is not among those under the current Land Law. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said such cases must be assessed against archived records and local rules, citing clause 2 of Decree No. 49/2026/NĐ-CP dated 31/01/2026: for certificates issued before 01/07/2004 that do not specify the residential area, the provincial People’s Committee sets how that area is determined. This can be done together with a land registration change or separately under the province’s procedure. Residents may send feedback or petitions to the People’s Committee or the Department of Agriculture and Environment for guidance.
- Weekly market review: Liquidity surges, banking stocks lead the rebound
The VN-Index gained 68.24 points (about 4%) over the week to close at 1,774.15, snapping a four-week decline, as average trading volume on HoSE reached nearly 712 million shares per session, up 22.2% from the prior week.
