## Resource

SpaceX just hit a record low the same week 911 million insider shares unlock, and Elon Musk responded by betting the entire company on a single chip supplier. Across town, Google made the opposite bet: a $200 billion financing scheme built to keep Anthropic off exactly that supplier. One of these companies is paying a borrowing-rate penalty for its bet. This episode breaks down who, why, and what it means for the AI chip war's next casualty.
