Full title: "Big Tech is borrowing like never before and the Fed just made that a lot more expensive"

Smart to borrow when money is cheap if you think you can do something more profitable with it.

If you’re profitable and can pay it back, it’s better than equity.

If there’s any financial risk then it may not be worth the potential loss of control.

But money has not been cheap for a while now so this is interesting. And yes, if you can do something more profitable with it, borrowing is always smart no, regardless of how cheap it is?
