Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us from a parking garage is a central bank official who insists on anonymity. Sir, why a parking garage?
Anonymous OfficialLevel three, pillar C. The concrete blocks the microphones. Also my car is the only room my building does not bill me for.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorForty billion dollars for chips. As a regulator of money, what goes through your mind?
Anonymous OfficialHonestly, a cold sweat. That is a lot of zeros to hand a company that makes rockets. I have a rocket in my garage.
Anonymous OfficialIt is a scooter.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe FT frames it as borrowing roughly what the company earns in revenue. Is that reckless or routine?
Anonymous OfficialI cannot say reckless. I can say I whispered the word reckless into a stairwell and the stairwell whispered it back.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me be clear for viewers. That is your opinion, not a finding, and it is not based on any inside file.
Anonymous OfficialCorrect. My only file is a parking stub. It is expired. They are going to tow my entire career.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI once got towed in Ulaanbaatar. The goat filed the complaint. Sir, will banks lend the money?
Anonymous OfficialBanks love lending to anything with a countdown clock. Someone is coming. That is a footstep. Or a very confident pigeon. Goodbye.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe will leave it there. Nvidia and SpaceX are the tickers, and the talks are reported, not final. Back to the desk.
