Herbert Ong(@herbertong):AI compute might be turning into a whole new asset class! @CernBasher makes an interesting point: the AI buildout is getting way too expensive for tech companies to fund everything themselves. That’s where Wall Street comes in. Pension funds, insurers and big investment firms could finance the AI factories, while companies pay to use the compute they produce. Basically, finance AI infrastructure like we already finance airports, power plants and real estate. If that model takes off, it could change how Tesla, SpaceX and the rest of the AI industry fund the next massive wave of compute. $TSLA $SPCX
