This rumor sounds like a crypto pump and dump.

Please buy Intel stock so we can sell ours!!

That would be a HUGE Conflict of Interest if he was also a Government Official overseeing things like Regulation and Contracts! Intel would be his THIRD or FOURTH or FIFTH company that would rely on Government Funding!

As if republicans would care…

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

switch permanently to AMD

So glad I switched to AM5 on my last main gaming rig rebuild last year lol

That's a silly reason to pick a piece of tech IMO. I buy exclusively AMD because they offer great value, especially since they support their sockets for a long time. For their GPUs, they have fantastic drivers on Linux.

I honestly don't care who owns them, I care that the quality is good for the price. I don't find that to be true for Tesla, so I don't own one. If he buys Intel, that won't change my opinion of their products, I'll still avoid them because he value isn't there.

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

Of course Elon Musk wants his grubby hands on the Arizona chip factory.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Imagine being a business willing to risk everything getting involved with this lunatic lol

If businesses nowadays were people we'd have interventions for them or lock them up for their own sake.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Elon has money, intel needs money

I don't see how Qualcomm buying Intel ever flies when Nvidia was blocked from buying ARM.

Please buy intel, its trash anyway. Musk is perfect fit since intel has been constantly fixing and bribing things to appear better than it is.

No responsible board should sell as much as a paper clip to this sociopathic weenis piss baby.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Ultimately, the board doesn't control who can buy stock.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 126 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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 was always the inevitable outcome of capitalism. Just some rich lying dipshit buying the world.
