Eh. Without getting anywhere near the merits of this particular fracas, the federal government has gotten deeply involved in critiquing the management of companies like Lockheed and Boeing, both for national security reasons and because of the importance of those companies to the economy. Easy to see Intel fitting into that mold in 2025.
I don’t recall a sitting President publicly calling for the CEO of either of those companies to resign. Please let’s not sanewash what is happening right now.

These are news reports after the fact. It's not normal for a president to go on twitter and publicly deride someone into resigning.

#15What are the odds this ends with Intel getting nationalized? I think it's really looking kind of non-zero now.

The norm that’s been transgressed here is getting more and more specific, isn’t it?

That was my original "norm" I stated. What has gotten more specific about that?

It doesn't need to get officially nationalized. Trump is already using tariffs to essentially direct large businesses. It's already been reported that Trump is requiring TSMC to take a 49% stake in Intel for tariff relief.

They looked too short to be em dashes and too long to be en dashes. Sure enough, they're neither.
They're minus signs. The AI is evolving.

Thank god Apple has been putting their eggs in their home-woven ARM basket. Now I just wish that they had a CEO who was above golden-trophy ass-kissing.
