Why the US government is taking a stake in Intel

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-10-15 04:22:36

The Trump administration wants the United States to be the dominant force when it comes to artificial intelligence, and one way the administration hopes to achieve primacy is by bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. To help with that transition, President Donald Trump has introduced potential chip tariffs and policies in recent months meant to bring more semiconductor manufacturing stateside. In late August, the Trump administration took an unprecedented step toward that goal w

Sen. Rand Paul blasts Trump's stake in Intel as 'a step towards socialism'

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration's decision to take a 10% stake in embattled chipmaker Intel , calling the investment "a step towards socialism." Intel announced last month that the U.S. government made an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, purchasing 433.3 million shares at a price of $20.47 per share, giving it a 10% stake in the company. Intel noted that the price the government paid was a discount to the current market price. Rand said gov

Apple's Assault on Standards Will we notice? And what can be done? TL;DR: Market competition underlies the enterprise of standards. It creates the only functional test of designs and functions as a pressure release valve that enables standards-based ecosystems route around single-vendor damage. Without competition, standards bodies have no purpose, and neither they, nor the ecosystems they support, can retain relevance.

I once had a job interview for a backend position. Their stack was Node.js, MySQL, nothing exotic.
