Big Tech is about to spend nearly $800 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026. That's double what they spent in 2025.
Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle — all going all-in. By 2029, they're projecting $1.2 trillion a year.
This is the biggest capex arms race in corporate history. The scale is insane.
But here's the thing: at some point, the math has to work. You can't burn cash forever on GPUs and data centers without showing actual revenue and profit.
Right now, the market is pricing in the promise. The hype. The future.
Eventually, investors will ask: where's the return? Where's the margin? Who's actually making money from all this?
If the payoff doesn't materialize, this will be one of the most expensive mistakes in business history.
If it does, we're looking at a new industrial revolution.
Either way, the stakes have never been higher.
