August 28, 2025Aug 28 Author Socialism/communism being implemented in the US. This level of government involvement in privately owned businesses is unparalleled in the West. All hail Comrade Trump! Trump administration mulls taking stakes in defense firms including Lockheed Martin https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/trump-administration-mulls-taking-stakes-defense-firms-including-lockheed-martin-2025-08-26 "The Trump administration is considering taking stakes in defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N), opens new tab, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Tuesday as he defended President Donald Trump's push for a greater government role in American business. Lutnick's comments are the latest example of the White House's aggressive interventions in the private sector, with moves historically only undertaken during wartime, or to save struggling and strategic domestic companies during times of economic stress. William Hartung, a Senior Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, described the move as a bad idea because it might "incentivize the government to put financial success for Lockheed Martin ahead of more important strategic considerations ... We need some healthy distance between the government and the companies it is supposed to regulate" he added."

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."

Not hard for the MAGAverse to explain. Try again BLMfem. Not really that positive. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/intel-warns-us-stake-could-hurt-international-sales-future-grants-2025-08-25/ Don't forget 70+% of sales for Intel come from outside US. And by US government's involvement, sizeable chunk of that was just handed over to AMD. Now other countries can slam tariffs on Intel the same way that Boeing/Airbus spat of government support played out, or the way penalties are put on Chinese cars due to Chinese government's support to car makers there. This isn't good for Intel at all, which even Intel admit themselves. That's AFTER Trump demanded new Intel CEO resign because he's having too close ties to Chinese: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70x6602pdyo In usual TACO fashion, he praised the man a few days later: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/intel-ceo-trump-lip-bu-tan.html I saw news elsewhere. Above are just the hits that came on Google when searching for media coverage on the topics.
