They “deploy” much more than what they generate.

Their cash position has gone from $44bn to $12bn in the first six months of the year and are now getting other people to pay for datacenters https://www.reuters.com/business/meta-taps-pimco-blue-owl-29...

Does Broadcom do anything but get hate for their shitty decisions? They are becoming, if they aren't already, the new Oracle.
