Yes. The wording comes from Elon Musk himself in a reply on Oct 25, answering Chamath Palihapitiya.

Musk wrote that "as of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn't have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers."

He said SpaceX had "closed $40B of debt for GPUs," adding that SpaceX could do it because "we're investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue."

On neoclouds, his exact line was: "That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many."
