SpaceX is set to close one of the biggest AI-driven debt deals in market history on Friday, using the capital raised to retire existing company debt, according to a MarketWatch report. The transaction marks a significant moment in how private aerospace and technology giants are tapping into surging investor appetite for artificial intelligence-adjacent financing.
