Elon Musk Warns Banks Have STOPPED Lending to AI Companies

HSBC just reported a 32% increase in pretax profit. And investors responded by dumping the stock as much as 7.5%. That sounds strange until you look at what was missing. That is the first clue. The second comes from the rest of Europe’s banks and what they are actually doing. And then there is France.

Has the energy shock finally gone far enough—and lasted long enough—to start breaking things across the markets and the economy? The airlines may be the first major warning. JetBlue’s stock just plunged to its lowest level since the company went public in 2002. Then there’s Wizz Air. Faced with what it calls an “unprecedented” increase in fuel prices, the airline is cutting winter capacity and offering buyouts to pilots at its main UK base—because we don’t have layoffs in this incredibly resilient economy. But this story is much bigger than two vulnerable airlines.

Did the credit cycle just completely flip — so, are stocks next? For more than a year, the warning signs were concentrated in the weakest parts of the system. Private-credit funds restricted. Leveraged loans. CCC-rated bond spreads. Distressed borrowers. Yet investment-grade credit remained completely calm. High-quality corporate debt was supposedly safe, and therefore the broader financial system—and the stock market—had little to fear. That assumption is now being directly challenged.

Fears about what Meta just reported have spread into bonds, both selling and buying, producing a huge UST rally...and more. Facebook's parent unleashed chaos with more capex and negative cash flow. Meta shares dropped more than 6%. Its bonds weakened relative to Treasuries. The price of credit protection on the company jumped to a record. And that was just the beginning of a big day in bond-land.
