Tech giants plan at least $720B in capex this year, most of it for AI infrastructure
What happened
On November 5, The Verge reported that Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta plan at least $720 billion in capital expenditure this year, most of it for AI infrastructure. The figure is the four companies' combined capex plan, not money already spent, and not all of it goes to AI. The report asks why the buildout is hard to stop, and says the companies have little appetite to slow it. What has been disclosed so far is still the annual investment plan.
