  Remember when Republicans flipped out about Obama bailing out GM?  > I'm sure that will have similar objections to Trump having the government buy a stake in Intel.  —  Bwahahahahahaha!!!  Sorry, could not say with straight face.  —  www.cnbc.com/2025/08/14/i...

  Makes you wonder seriously where these actions are headed?  —  China's a prime example of state capitalism, where the state has significant control over key industries & uses state-owned enterprises to drive economic growth & achieve political goals.  —  www.cnbc.com/2025/08/14/i…

  think less “seizing the means of production,” and more a putinesque exploitation of a struggling company to get your palms greased that will either never actually happen or go hilariously terribly, with lots of money thrown around that mysteriously disappears and produces nothing…

  Some Nvidia, AMD, and now maybe Intel.  Which company will Trump's socialist government take a cut from next? [embedded post]

  Old enough to remember when Americans talked about other government stakes in companies as being “socialism”.  So Americans, WTF is this? [embedded post]

  I explain why the move is unusual, how it fits into U.S. national security and supply chain strategy, and what it could mean for Intel's foundry business, competition with TSMC and Samsung, and broader industrial policy. https://www.youtube.com/... $INTC $TSM

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  Ideally, Intel foundry can stand on its own by winning customers on technology merit.  Something, on paper, I believe is doable.  That said, should a gov. stake + PE (likely necessary) + majority held by Intel be the play, there has to be enforced tariffs that strongly encourage …

  NEWS: Trump's administration is discussing buying a stake in Intel Corp. after Trump's meeting with the CEO this week, per sources. It would be a signal of support for the tech firm and its massive, but beleaguered, Ohio chip manufacturing project. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

• @smithdanj1 Daniel J. Smith on x

  Trump's embrace of socialism (state ownership or control of the means of production) is deeply concerning. Nvidia, U.S. Steel, MP Minerals, and now Intel. The Republican Party is helping bring socialism to America.

  We are turning tech companies into state enterprises the same week we are bailing out Russian corporations. In the end, Soviets won.

  Reporters treating as a totally normal thing the US govt buying a direct stake in a private company not b/c they are at risk of bankruptcy (see GM) or critical to the world financial markets (Citi, etc.) but b/c it's “beleaguered” and their CEO buttered up Dear Leader. Insane.
