turmp said “he” didn’t pay one penny for the 10% ownership. Intel just “gave him” almost a billion dollars. This administration has no legitimate claim to rule over the Union. They are a rogue dictatorship. They have lost whatever authority they might have had.

This isn't communism bud. And Bush and Obama did the same thing. What I'm down for is not giving out corporate subsidies without getting something back, and this did that. Arent you against corporate giveaways???? Intel wasn't forced into it. They needed cash and to stabilize their stock price.

Actually, Intel is in the great recession for chip makers. They're way behind the game and need $$ to catch up. Their size has been cut in half while Taiwan semi has more than doubled and NVDA is more than 10x since COVID. If they don't act now, they will get run under and we need US chip makers.

Intel was still going to have to reach various thresholds in order to get all the money, and their factory in the US was delayed for several years already. It was big news a while back and could have jeopardized their cash. And again, since when are dems on the side of free corporate welfare???
aug 23, 2025, 2:44 am • 0 0 • view
Their factory is 5 years behind schedule so far and wouldn't be surprised if it slips more, especially if there's a slowdown. That alone could let Trump clawback the money. This is a win win because that would hang over Intel's head for the next 6 years and now it won't.
