## Summary

Meta plans to raise $95bn in two stock offerings to cover its AI infrastructure spending, with $35bn in underwritten public offerings and $60bn through an at-the-market offering of new class C shares. Elon Musk said debt markets had largely shut off funding to neocloud datacentre providers without substantial revenue outside AI, and CoreWeave and Iren shares fell more than 2% in premarket trading.
