Today everyone is looking at GPUs, AI models and trillion dollar valuations.
Maybe the bigger story is the financing behind the buildout.
Hundreds of billions in capex.
Massive debt issuance.
Long dated infrastructure projects.
Off balance sheet commitments.
Everyone assumes AI demand keeps growing forever.
What happens if it only slows?
You don’t need AI to fail.
You only need the expected returns to fall below the cost of financing them.
That is how credit problems begin.
I’m not saying data centers become the next subprime mortgage market.
I’m saying every bubble eventually finds its weakest link.
Today, the bond market, the credit market and the equity market all started asking the same question at the same time.
Who is paying for the biggest AI buildout in history… and what happens if the cash flows don’t arrive fast enough?
Unpopular opinion:
Data center debt is now the new subprime MBS
The Mag 7 are all balls deep into it too just like the banks were balls deep into subprime MBS.
This is the biggest risk to the financial system since 2008.
History always rhymes and greed is always the cause

Dayum.
Things are unraveling fast. $ORCL could literally be a zero. Everyone says a bailout is coming.
They better hope so.
This is insane. https://t.co/OydsGwJ1to

Hey Nvidia, maybe cool it a bit on the "circular financing" circle jerk deals already. You are blowing up the bond market. https://t.co/jsOv00Ky97 pic.twitter.com/BK3WB7OU5P
