Capex-heavy Google running out of free cash flow
The author argues Google and META are running out of free cash flow and are raising money by selling their own bond-like instruments that compete with government bonds. Combined with high 10- and 30-year yields, this capex-heavy spending without near-term profitability supports a bearish stance. The stated risk is the assumption that AI cannot quickly change the oil/energy picture.

META capex and debt issuance seen as bearish
The author claims META, like Google, is exhausting free cash flow and issuing debt-like instruments that compete with government bonds. With 10- and 30-year yields still high, the capex burden without near-term profitability is bearish. Main risk is the author's own uncertainty about AI-driven energy changes.
