Nvidia Is CO-SIGNING $500M in Loans So Customers Buy Its Own Chips + Only 14% Can Prove AI Works

Tired of wondering if you’ll be laid off? Grab The 40+ Career Playbook and find your next move: https://www.nxtgenheights.com/offers/... Nvidia is co-signing $500 MILLION in customer loans so people can afford to buy its own chips. American companies borrowed a record $2.46 TRILLION this year — a fifth of the entire bond market now tied to AI. And Big Tech is spending $1.57 for every $1 of new cash it generates. The AI boom isn't paid for out of profits. It's paid for on borrowed money. Tonight, after the close, Google and Tesla report earnings. We're watching ONE line — the capital spending line — because it tells you whether the credit card still works. If that number climbs while hiring stays flat, that's the whole story in a single print.
