# SpaceX reportedly seeks $40B debt to buy Nvidia Rubin chips

*2026-10-08 · Source: [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/spacex-reportedly-seeking-usd40-billion-debt-package-for-nvidia-ai-hardware-massive-raise-could-fund-roughly-360-000-vera-rubin-gpus-across-5-000-nvl72-racks)*

SpaceX is reportedly looking to borrow $40 billion to procure 360,000 Nvidia Rubin AI accelerators and supporting infrastructure. The report comes via Tom's Hardware and is not confirmed by the company.

**Why it matters:** Financing GPU purchases with debt rather than equity or cash flow shows how capital-intensive frontier compute has become, and extends the trend of non-traditional players building large AI clusters. A buyer of this scale can also tighten Rubin supply for other customers.

**Topics:** chips, infrastructure
