GoKawiilElon Musk predicts collapse of over 200 neocloud firms, stocks dip
Elon Musk said on X that more than 200 'neocloud' companies could face mass failure and consolidation, citing tightening debt markets that now favor firms with revenue beyond AI data centers. Shares of Nebius, CoreWeave and Iren fell more than 4% in premarket trading Monday before paring losses. Musk's comments came in response to a post from Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya, who warned of stranded, underutilized compute capacity emerging by 2027.
