The core claim — that major tech companies have large off-balance-sheet obligations tied to AI-era infrastructure spending — is plausible and newsworthy, especially since it cites Nikkei and standard tools like SPVs and subsidiaries. But the piece jumps fast from 'off-balance-sheet financing exists' to Enron-adjacent collapse vibes without showing enough accounting detail, contract structure, or company-by-company methodology to justify the panic. In other words: probably a real risk, definitely an emotionally optimized framing.

While self-interested, the core argument about the benefits of open access is sound.
