Big Tech is borrowing so much money for AI that it's pushing up borrowing costs for everyone else.
Investors have lent AI companies around $500 billion this year alone, and Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle are expected to borrow over $1 trillion in the next few years.
They've already smashed borrowing records in Canada, Australia, Switzerland and the UK.
When tech giants soak up that much cash, everyone else competing for loans, even governments, has to pay more to borrow.
Fed chair Kevin Warsh and Treasury Secretary Bessent say Big Tech is now competing with the U.S. government for money, and last week 10-year U.S. borrowing costs hit their highest level since 2007.
Those rates feed straight into mortgages, car loans and credit cards.
Much of this debt is also being bought by pension funds and insurers, so your retirement savings could be more tied to AI than you think.
The whole bet rests on AI actually paying off, but if it doesn't, the bill won't land on Silicon Valley alone.

There are a few single points of failure choke points in the global chip manufacturing industry’s supply chain, that keeps us in the modern world we’ve all become so accustomed to 📱💻📷📹🕹️📡🖥️⌚️🚗🏎️🛰️🚀🎛️📻🎮, for example…
👨🏻🔧 Taiwan (TSMC): With its staggeringly impressive 92%+ global market dominance on advanced chip manufacturing
👨🏻🔧 Helium, like the 36%+ that comes via the Strait of Hormuz
👨🏻🔧 Critical ultra-pure rare-earth semiconductor materials refining, like dysprosium, gallium and germanium. 99.9% of which comes from China, facilities like China’s Wuxi refinery
👨🏻🔧 Netherlands (ASML): 100% global monopoly on extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which are absolute prerequisites for etching sub-7nm advanced logic and memory chips
👨🏻🔧 Chip design software: The electronic design automation market is overwhelmingly dominated by a US-based oligopoly of Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens, they control 96% of the global electronic design automation market between them. Interestingly, a *huge* chunk of chip designers and software engineers working in those companies, were trained in British universities
👨🏻🔧 Wafer alignment and bonding: Specialised wafer-bonding tools are concentrated heavily to a single provider cluster in Austria, with its 83%+ dominance of this niche market
👨🏻🔧 Ceramics from a Japanese toilet manufacturer 💁🏻♂️…

Helium is up like crazy. Pre war price $300 per thousand cubic feet (MCF), current price $1,500+ per MCF.
- New laptop lines have been cancelled
- Apple products have price hacked by 20%+
- Anticipated gaming consoles have been delayed and even cancelled
- Memory chip prices have soared insanely
- SSD prices, the same
And it’s only going to get worse.
David Grusch is a former United States Air Force officer and intelligence official who stated on record and under oath, in Congressional Committee Hearings where he and other whistleblowers gave testimony to Congress, that the United States federal government, in collaboration with private aerospace companies, has highly secretive special access programs involved in the recovery and reverse engineering of "non-human" spacecraft and their ‘pilots’, and that people have been threatened and killed in order to conceal these programs from the public. Grusch claims the recovery program goes way back, for example he’s seen documents reporting a spacecraft of alien origin that had been recovered by Benito Mussolini's government in 1933 and procured by the U.S. in 1944 or 1945, with the assistance of the Vatican and the Five Eyes alliance.

☞ I have never bought an NFT
☞ I have never recommended anyone to buy NFTs
☞ I have always and forever told people *not* to buy NFTs
☞ Many people ignored that advice, they all lost 100% of everything they invested in NFTs
☞ In this video where he shows the ‘current’ value of those NFTs, the figures he shows are likely incorrect. Much more likely is the figure is $0 for all of them. You can list any price you like, but good luck selling it!
☞ At all the crypto conventions during the NFT fad, all the experts were shilling them like crazy and saying buy buy buy they’re going to be huge, then they crashed to nothing and have never (and will never) recovered. Stone dead asset.
☞ Everything that happened with the NFTs fad, then happened all over again with Meme coins fad, and all of this had already happened before in the ICO coins fad.
☞ In all of those fads I said don’t touch them.
☞ What will the next stupid crypto fad be?
