The (Overdue) Collapse of Oracle's AI Data Center Empire

🖱️ Fix desk wrist pain https://amzn.to/4hr1gdA Oracle just promised the AI industry $664 billion dollars it doesn't have yet. In September 2025, Oracle's stock jumped 36% in a single day after a $300 billion deal with OpenAI, briefly making Larry Ellison the richest man alive. One year later, Oracle has borrowed $125 billion dollars, burned through $23.7 billion in free cash flow, laid off tens of thousands of employees, and its credit default swaps are trading worse than they did during the 2008 financial crisis. This is the story of how Oracle bet its entire balance sheet on one customer, OpenAI, to build the physical infrastructure behind the AI boom, and why that bet is starting to look a lot riskier than Wall Street wants to admit. We break down the Stargate project, the Abilene and Michigan data center deals, the debt spiral, the layoffs, and the three paths Oracle could take from here.
