Now give me an example of a corporate board at Intel's scale being responsible when given the choice between being responsible or buttloads of short-term profits.
this is the company that at one time chose to buy mcafee.
But why!?
McAfee was a solid product in the beginning, it turned to crap after it's admittedly crazy founder sold it off.

What? It worked out for Twitter shareholders though.
What bothers me about all these political posts is when people act surprised when profit seeking people act purely in their self interest.
I agree it’s bad, but it’s weird to be constantly mad about things so obvious like parasites acting parasitically.

This was always the inevitable outcome of capitalism. Just some rich lying dipshit buying the world.
I think elons would be needed to be broken down by government like the Rockefellers.
Yeah.
And there's a very good chance that Elon spends his waning years in and out of every court, trying to stay out of jail.
Source: Rockefeller's biography.
And that's actually the optimistic version, from Elon's perspective. There's been plenty of rich assholes in history that didn't have to worry about the courts.
Epstein doesn't have to worry about the courts anymore

Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.
Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.
Bad vibes, I say.
For those feeling out of the loop, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine
Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.
AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.
Right, because Intel needs MORE problems.
They have to old slogan of intel inside ready to be rebranded as incel inside

Isn't he busy enough buying the United States right now?
On one hand “noooo!” But on the other this would be great for ARM and RISC-v if Intel tanks.
Screw ARM honestly, they don't need any help. RISC-V though as the only open source of any significance, absolutely!

c'mon RISC-V! Framework is developing a board for their laptop right now.

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?
The new Incel X series
This rumor sounds like a crypto pump and dump.
Please buy Intel stock so we can sell ours!!
This is the only reputable outlet that had anything to say about it.
They reference SemiAccurate as the source, which I have not heard of before, but seems to have a solid track record with accurate reporting.
GET. FUCKED. MUSK.
I have to say, having an all-AMD setup makes me feel slightly okay today, even though AMD is just another shit company. At least it's not in the running to be owned by that fucking tool.

I appreciate him doing this after intel lost their magic, otherwise, it would have been much harder emotionally.
They lost it in CPUs, but I think they're actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))
They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren't even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD

Who wants to get in bed with Elon so he drives the brand into the ground? How much has Fidelity written down their investment in Twitter, 80%?
I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven't used intel since 2012.
This is still extremely bad for the industry, regardless of whether you personally use it.

I have a 13700K that's growing increasingly unstable due to their fuckup on voltage control. Never again. My next rebuild will be AMD.

Everyone is focusing on Musk but uh, Global Foundries wants to be involved in buying Intel?
The same Global Foundries that's utterly incapable of progressing their tech stack?
The one AMD created when they got rid of their foundries and was happy to do so?
That amuses the shit out of me.
AMD wasn't quite "happy" to sell their fabs, it was necessitated because they were facing bankruptcy. People forget but the prevailing opinion was that AMD was going to bankrupt within a few years.
Their pre-Su CEO, Rory Read, often gets shit online for being there during a bad period, but he made some difficult and necessary decisions that saved AMD. Part of that was the GF selloff.
I highly doubt Global Foundries is even in the position to buy Intel, they'd most likely want to give them a cash infusion in exchange for tech or for selling fabs (which intel would probably accept, since their fabs are currently under-utilised... in other words they have too much capacity, and yet are still building more because Chips Act says they have to). That would be good for GF.
Yep, he'll do it, the Trump administration will rubber stamp it. He'll probably just keep doing such. Who knows what will happen when someone has all the money on the planet.
...I guess that person's lineage just rules supreme however they like?

If Leon buys Intel, then I will switch permanently to AMD or the loser is playing with the market.

Mixed feelings about this as someone with a relatively (per my portfolio) huge investment in Intel. It would result, eventually, in the end of Intel. But so many dumb people with so much money keep throwing money at his crap companies so it might work out in the short term to get out with a profit.

Lmfao oh man because AMD wasn't encroaching enough on intels market share, make your brand even more political than it already is. Hitching their trailer to a beneficiary of apartheid is notoriously on brand for them though, so there's that.

So he'll pay again twice the amount of money, then run the company off a bigger cliff than it's currently falling off already?
I'll heat up the popcorn
You don't need to buy an entire company to control or profit from it... He's really that dumb isn't he. He could do the whole Black Rock thing and control every company in the world, instead he has this idea of just owning everything.
I'm starting to suspect the price speculation of things he owns is by his own hand, nothing to do with the market whatsoever.

Of course Elon Musk wants his grubby hands on the Arizona chip factory.
Let's hope it's just another wccftech article pulled out of author's anus...
