La IA de Elon Musk recauda 20.000 millones con una participación de 2.000 millones de Nvidia

El gigante tecnológico hace su jugada más audaz en inteligencia artificial

Fondos récord para la revolución IA

Nvidia apuesta fuerte con una inyección de capital que marca un antes y después en la financiación de tecnologías emergentes. La compañía de chips demuestra que confía más en la IA que en los pronósticos de los analistas tradicionales.

Estrategia de expansión acelerada

Los 20.000 millones obtenidos posicionan a xAI como un contendiente serio en la carrera por la supremacía de la inteligencia artificial. Musk vuelve a desafiar las expectativas del mercado con una movida que deja atrás a competidores establecidos.

El futuro se escribe con datos

Mientras los bancos centrales imprimen dinero, los visionarios tecnológicos construyen infraestructura cognitiva. La ironía: los mismos que dudaban de las criptomonedas ahora compiten por invertir en algoritmos.

Nvidia invests while Wall Street funds the debt

Nvidia is investing equity as a strategy to push its chips deeper into customer systems. The company’s Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress told a Goldman Sachs conference in September that while Nvidia will continue to repurchase shares and pursue strategic deals, its main use of cash is to help other companies adopt AI more quickly.

Other financiers are backing the debt. Apollo Global Management is participating alongside Diameter Capital Partners. Valor Capital is leading the equity portion, with Apollo also investing. None of these firms gave public comment when contacted.

The raise is more than double the earlier $10 billion figure reported earlier this year, showing the scale of demand for hardware and financing in the AI race.

The debt itself is unusual because it is backed by Nvidia’s processors instead of the company. By renting chips for a set period, xAI provides investors with predictable returns while keeping corporate liabilities separate.

The arrangement is being seen as a potential model for other tech firms aiming to secure capital without stacking too much debt directly on their books.

AI giants secure record amounts for infrastructure

The deal comes in the middle of unprecedented capital raising across the AI sector. OpenAI announced a multi‑year partnership to run its systems on Advanced Micro Devices chips. Meta has agreed to a financing deal worth $29 billion for data center expansion.

Oracle pulled together $38 billion in debt for its infrastructure. Altogether, tech companies in U.S. bond markets have secured $157 billion so far this year, a 70% increase compared with last year.

For Elon, this capital is critical. Bloomberg reported that xAI has already burned through $1 billion per month while building its infrastructure.

Earlier this year, the company raised about $10 billion in a mix of debt and equity. Elon has also drawn on his other companies, with SpaceX already investing in xAI. Later this year, Tesla investors will vote on whether to put money into the startup as well.

Data center capacity remains a central issue in AI development, as training large models requires huge computing power. While some in the industry debate how much more power will actually improve results, few argue against the need to secure hardware at scale.

Elon has positioned AI at the center of his product vision, describing it as the foundation for self‑driving vehicles and fully autonomous robots.
