No responsible board should sell as much as a paper clip to this sociopathic weenis piss baby.
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.
Ultimately, the board doesn’t control who can buy stock.
Responsible to who?
Of course they will sell if there’s a profit to be made. Companies exist to make profits, if they can make a profit from it, it’s actually their responsibility to the shareholders to do it.Maybe you mean responsible in some way that has to do with morals, but if you think morals apart from staying within the law, have any say in this whatsoever, you are being very naive. That’s not at all how the system works.
That said I don’t see any other way than corruption for Musk to be interested. Musk buys Intel, and Trump doubles the subsidies to Intel and give them extra sweet government contracts. And everybody profit, except the stupid taxpayers including those that voted Trump.
Only the law helps super capitalist narcissists to stay at least somewhat within moral norms.
And in USA the law doesn’t even count anymore. So there you go, everything is fucked up, until Americans figure it out. Which means it will be fucked up for a loooong time.
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.
Musk-busting?
Sounds terrible. I’m sure it’ll happen cuz we live in hell.
They have to old slogan of intel inside ready to be rebranded as incel inside
AMD: “Go for it!”
Right?! RIP Intel haha
Holy fuck no thank you
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!
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
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?
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%?
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.
On the social media front Elon literally knows nothing, but it’s impossible to deny that he hasn’t helped build 2 companies that know how to manufacturer complex hardware at scale. To deny that just shows ignorance.
So while Intel has so many problems, and there’s the whole politics disaster side of things, he might not actually cause the end of Intel from a hardware perspective.
I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven’t used intel since 2012.
I have a 13700K that’s growing increasingly unstable due to their fuckup on voltage control. Never again. My next rebuild will be AMD.
havent built a new PC since 2019 but when I did, I specifically picked AMD because of the Specter problem that existed at the time. havent looked back since.
oh, I agree.
If Leon buys Intel, then I will switch permanently to AMD or the loser is playing with the market.
switch permanently to AMD
So glad I switched to AM5 on my last main gaming rig rebuild last year lol
As if Intel doesn’t have enough problems. That dipshit buying them would probably destroy them.
I worked at intel for a while. It deserves to be destroyed. But I live in an area with a lot of well off intel employees. It could tank my house value among other major impacts to the community. Like I am sure he would kill the matching donation stuff which would be a significant reduction of the amount of money non profits get in this area. So I hope the destruction is slow enough for other chip companies in the area to absord some of the workers.
It deserves to be destroyed.
I know we all hate our jobs but there has to be a story behind this…
Intel took their stapler.
I work with some Intel folks… The place just seems terribly mismanaged and the tech world would probably benefit if the technical folks would work elsewhere.
Eh, that’s just most large tech companies.
Are there people left who will lend him money after seeing what happened to twitter?
Yes. People still lend Adam Neumann money, despite his record of epic failure. When you have the skills that get other people to pay the bills, failure is not a problem.
