SpaceX周一表示，阿波罗全球管理公司的一个附属机构将购买AI芯片和服务器硬件，并将其租赁给该火箭到AI公司，交易总本金支付约为400亿美元。
SpaceX said on Monday an affiliate of Apollo Global Management will buy AI chips and server hardware and lease them to the rockets-to-AI firm, in a deal with total principal payments of about $40 billion.
每笔租赁将从设备到达之日起持续略超过五年，依据一份监管文件。
Each lease will run a little over five years from the day the equipment arrives, according to a regulatory filing.
该交易凸显了SpaceX的高额支出，因为它试图利用对计算能力需求激增来为其月球和火星雄心提供资金。
The deal highlights SpaceX’s heavy spending, as it tries to capitalise on surging demand for computing power to help bankroll its Moon and Mars ambitions.
公司计划在年底前完成交易。租赁预计将在2027年上半年开始，一旦芯片交付。
The company aims to finalise the deal by the end of the year. The leases are expected to start in the first half of 2027, once the chips are delivered.
