Meta just spent $14 billion to build a house, then agreed to pay rent to live in it.

The AI race got so expensive even the richest tech companies can’t build infrastructure alone.

Meta’s El Paso data center runs one gigawatt — enough power for 750,000 homes. 

To fund it, Meta partnered with BlackRock through a separate company that owns the center and rents it back. 

BlackRock owns 80%. Meta owns 20%. The debt stays off Meta’s books.

Google partnered with Blackstone. Microsoft with BlackRock and MGX. 

Here’s what matters: BlackRock manages trillions in pension and retirement money.

AI scaling normally, or Big Tech outsourcing risk to Wall Street? 

Tell me below.
