Kinda weird that an article arguing that we will get a financial crisis from defaults on credit / loans for data centers...doesn't say how much loans to data centers there are...

Of the $100bn capex from the Mag7, I would bet less than 10% is debt financed.

Of the 1% of GDP ($300bn), you are probably talking about less than $50bn.

Then he lists around $10 TRILLION of other debt, of which $1t+ is private credit.

He may have identified the right pipe (private lending) but wrong location...
