- SpaceX and CoreWeave Inc. were among the biggest casualties in a broad-based credit slump due to renewed fears of tighter regulation on the artificial intelligence industry.
- The yields on one of CoreWeave’s bonds soared to a record high of more than 17%, while the cost of insuring SpaceX’s debt against default also rose to its highest level ever.
- Market watchers warned that a Democratic rout could strengthen the party’s ability to scrutinize Elon Musk’s conduct and impede an anticipated tie-up between Space X and Tesla Inc.

archive won’t load, but SpaceX CDS are at 3%/year. Comparable to Oracle. There is massive fundraising demand this week, and its $40b GPU SPV (Spacex just pays rent, but it is 5% principal + whatever interest rate is finalized) is pricing at over 8%, and hasn’t sold out, and so is likely to increase in interest rate. It’s moving absurdly fast with even higher datacenter capacity with little organic AI revenue, and an environment where hyperscallers (MSFT) is cancelling renewals and other projects because they are full. Even more absurd terrafab moneypit is noob thinking he can compete with TSMC.
Extreme corrupt financial backing is there for his political interference, but his companies have been overvalued on his fraud for years.
