A proposed $2 billion data center has become a political flashpoint in the small city of Shelbyville, Indiana.

A proposed $2 billion data center has become a political flashpoint in the small city of Shelbyville, Indiana. And the controversy has only grown more intense after the mayor, Scott Furgeson, was caught on camera saying of the "No Data Center" signs going up that, "I've seen a lot of these all over town, but I only see them in shitty houses," before adding, "most of them are rentals." The woman speaking to him in the clip quickly pushes back, saying that they're "working class," and someone chimes in to add something that a mayor shouldn't have to be told about their constituents: "it doesn't matter whether they're rentals, they're still hu … Read the full story at The Verge.

US Intercepted Fresh Iranian Ballistic Missile Attacks Overnight As Tehran Blasts 'Ceasefire Violations' Summary Iran's foreign ministry says US overnight action, especially bombing coastal radar facilities, is a violation of ceasfire . New nighttime salvo of missiles on Kuwait, Bahrain: Six ballistic missiles fired at Bahrain and Kuwait were intercepted , CENTCOM said. Overnight flare-up started with Iranian attack drones in Strait being intercepted by US forces. Trump admits Iran still has some 20% of its missile arsenal: " It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked." (CNBC) US x Iran permanent peace deal by June 30, 2026? Yes 21% · No 80% View full market & trade on Polymarket * * * Iran FM Blasts New US 'Ceasefire Violations' Iran has again accused the US of breaking the ceasefire, with the Foreign Ministry on Saturday stating the US "not only lacks the will to reduce tensions and return to the path of stability, but with its adventurist actions , it seriously endangers the security of the region." The ministry on X denounced fresh US attacks its coastal radar and surveillance facilities in Sirik region and on Qeshm Island - saying this breached the ceasefire . The ministry “strongly calls on the countries of the region to observe the principle of good neighborliness and adhere to the fundamental principle of international law of refraining from allowing aggressors to use their territory and facilities to plan and carry out aggressive actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran." It seems clear that for each US action, Iran is seeking to establish deterrence , and so is not hesitating to fire or inflict some kind of 'cost' either on US bases or the Gulf allies hosting them. More Pakistani efforts to forge together agreement to get US-Iran back to the formal negotiating table: Pakistan's Interior Minister @MohsinnaqviC42 has just departed from Lahore for Tehran where he will meet Iranian Leadership and deliver important messages as p...

Welcome to The Brink . It’s Luca Casiraghi and Irene García Pérez , and we’ve been looking at the $165 billion opportunity resulting from unsuccessful LMEs. We also have news on Reno de Medici and private credit redemption requests. Follow this link to subscribe . Send us feedback and tips at debtnews@bloomberg.net . ‘No more, no más’ The throngs of aggressive debt restructuring deals that have been forced onto creditors in recent years may have created a unique opportunity for distressed investors. Holly Kim , co-founder of hedge fund Glendon Capital , identified at least 66 issuers in the market that went through a so-called liability management exercise in recent years and whose debt is now trading at distressed levels. That’s about $165 billion of bonds and loans, split between $90 billion of super-senior paper and $75 billion of subordinated debt, she said at the Bloomberg Global Credit Forum on Wednesday. Watch: Credit Titans Warn of Shakeout on Deals That ‘Don’t Make Sense’ “Those are defaults that are ready to go,” she said. “For the first time in my career there is a pipeline of defaults” that are “already baked into the system.” Out-of-court restructurings that push some creditors ahead of others in the repayment order became ubiquitous as debt covenants grew weaker over the last decade, allowing private equity firms to extend the life of their investments in some of the most troubled companies. But those types of deals have often failed to improve companies’ financial health, and investors are increasingly pushing back against them. While private equity owners are coming up with new ways to get these deals done — like using non-disclosure agreements to divide and conquer creditors — the number of LME deals are dwindling. There were at least 50 LMEs finalized in 2024, and the total dropped to 33 last year. About 10 LMEs have been completed between January and May this year, and at least four are in the works at the moment, according to data compiled by Blo...

But about five years ago, Benn decided to take his YouTube channel in a different direction.

quantic69/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Execution is running ahead of every target management has set . Contracted power has gone from just over 1 GW in August 2025 to more than 3.5 GW today. The year-end target has been raised to over 4 GW , capacity is effectively sold out, and pipeline generation rose roughly 3.5x quarter over quarter in Q1. Q1 revenue of $399M grew 684% YoY and 75% QoQ, with both growth rates accelerating from Q4. The revenue is substantially de-risked . Roughly $47B of committed contract value across Microsoft ( MSFT ) ($17.4B) and Meta ( META ) (up to $29.9B across two agreements), $4.8B of customer prepayments sitting in deferred revenue, and a $2.0B NVIDIA ( NVDA ) equity investment have converted the financing problem that kills most neoclouds into a solid delivery schedule. The equity at $220 prices exactly my base case . Counting the funding still to come, the market is paying roughly 7.4x my 2027E revenue, effectively in line with my 7.5x target multiple, against CoreWeave ( CRWV ) at roughly 4.2x 2027E revenue. The weighted diluted share count grew 30% in twelve months, and I model a further ~$25B of net debt by the end of 2027. The 20% pullback from the June 1 high of $274.80 has taken the bull-case premium out of the price, but it has not created a discount (yet). The unit economics clear the cost of capital, but not by much, and only across two contract cycles . My rough calculation is that a five-year committed contract at $8-9M of revenue per MW-year returns ~75 cents per dollar of the ~$33M per MW invested within the first GPU cycle; the equity return lives in the owned shell-and-power layer (more than 75% of Nebius contracted GW) and in re-contracting refreshed fleets at held prices, neither of which is yet observable at scale. Bottom line : I am Equal Weight, $220 PT . My bull case of $300 offers ~35% upside; my bear case of $100 implies ~55% downside. I believe the skew at current levels is negative. I would conside...

Elon Musk will virtually attend a closed door technology conference run by ASML Holding NV to discuss his Terafab project, which the chip-equipment maker considers a “serious endeavor.” ASML invited Musk to speak to employees about Terafab , a SpaceX-Tesla joint venture to produce cutting-edge chips for robotics, artificial intelligence and space data centers. The joint venture, unveiled in March, recently announced plans to build a chip factory in the US which will cost at least $55 billion. Musk “will share his vision on AI, robotics, space, and semiconductor manufacturing” at the event for ASML employees, a company spokesperson told Bloomberg. ASML said its leadership has discussed the Terafab project with Musk. The billionaire, who is the chief executive officer of both SpaceX and Tesla, wants the project to eventually support a terawatt of computing power per year, the amount he expects the firms to use in the future as he boosts investments in AI and robotics. The facility would aim to produce 2 nanometer chips, at the cutting edge of current technology. ASML is one of the most important companies in the AI supply chain. It is the only company producing the most advanced lithography machines needed to make the semiconductors used in AI. The company, which supplies customers including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics Co. , recently became Europe’s most valuable stock ever as the surge in artificial intelligence spending fuels demand for its machines. Musk’s ambition is to take on leaders like TSMC and do so at volumes far beyond the industry’s current capacity. He has said the project is needed because the semiconductor industry is moving too slow to keep up with the supply of chips he expects will be required. “Through Terafab, Musk and his team are becoming part of the broader semiconductor ecosystem, and many companies, including ASML, will collaborate on this initiative,” the firm’s spokesperson added.
