August 25, 2025Aug 25 So a GOP president demanding government ownership in a private company. No Dem president has ever done that. Trump also wants to tax innovation through a tax on patents. This one's gonna be hard for the MAGAverse to explain away. Expect much noise about Biden, Hillary, Soros, The Laptop, the usual drivel.😁 WSJ: Trump takes 10% of Intel, as Washington becomes Chinatown on industrial policy. https://archive.ph/6fbBC "President Trump on Friday trumpeted that the U.S. government will take a 10% equity stake (worth about $8.9 billion) in Intel, the struggling maker of computer chips. The President made CEO Lip-Bu Tan an offer he couldn’t refuse. “He walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States,” Mr. Trump said of their meeting this month."
August 25, 2025Aug 25 Pretty positive for Intel and the US. Intel's press release states that the government "will make an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, reflecting the confidence the Administration has in Intel to advance key national priorities and the critically important role the company plays in expanding the domestic semiconductor industry." That money will come from $5.7 billion in grants that have yet to be paid out to Intel under the CHIPS and Science Act alongside $3.2 billion for the Secure Enclave program, for which the company is making chips for the U.S. Department of Defense. Intel has already received $2.2 billion of its CHIPS Act funding. "As the only semiconductor company that does leading-edge logic R&D and manufacturing in the U.S., Intel is deeply committed to ensuring the world’s most advanced technologies are American made,” said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, in the press release. “President Trump’s focus on U.S. chip manufacturing is driving historic investments in a vital industry that is integral to the country’s economic and national security."

August 25, 2025Aug 25 Shares of Intel are soaring.. This is quite brilliant. Effectively the presiden is taking from Nvidia and AMD and giving to Intel, to create a more level playing field. Incredible the deals Trump makes on a weekly basis.. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3zpdl3xdo

Their decades long under the table deals with computer builders like Dell to cut out AMD is disgusting.

The company laid out new risk factors in a securities filing after the government decided to convert $11 billion in government grants into an equity stake in Intel, the latest extraordinary intervention in corporate America by President Donald Trump. Separately, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said in a video posted on Monday by the Commerce Department that the company did not need the government funding.

Yes, it's called government investment. Pure brilliance by Trump, he's clawing back government assets for money already spent on Intel, and at the same time making Intel's share price soar. The man's a pure genius. The news lifted shares of Intel 5.5% on Friday, and they added a further 2% soon after the opening bell Monday. They have added more than a quarter of their value this year. https://www.investopedia.com/intel-stock-keeps-getting-a-boost-from-us-investment-11796661 What did Callum say, Wall Street investors don't like it, lol?

August 26, 2025Aug 26 7 minutes ago, Cameroni said: What did Callum say, Wall Street investors don't like it, lol? What is worse is that Trump now will tell Intel CEO how to run his business. Wall Street investors say this is the worst that could happen to any company. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/this-week-in-trumponomics-a-government-hedge-fund-140519070.html Investors momentarily lost their minds on Aug. 22 when President Trump confirmed that the US government was planning to take a 10% stake in chip giant Intel (INTC), and the stock price surged. That’s crazy, because nothing could be worse for a company than the government — any government — getting involved and telling the CEO what to do. Trump’s deal would give the US government a 10% stake in Intel in exchange for federal subsidies included in the 2022 CHIPS Act, which President Biden signed into law. Trump called the arrangement a “great deal.” Free marketeers howled. “A terrible decision, bad for almost everyone,” Scott Lincicome of the libertarian Cato Institute said on social media. “Bad for Intel's long-term viability, as politics, not commercial considerations, increasingly drive its decisions.”
August 26, 2025Aug 26 8 minutes ago, Cameroni said: Pure brilliance by Trump Your 'glazing' of trump is impressive. $5.7B of this investment came from unpaid grants allocated by the 2022 CHIPS Act. Another $3.2B comes from the Secure Enclave program, also part of the 2022 CHIPS Act. The total is $8.9B.
