    Huh.

    in August, [the US government spent] $8.9 billion for a nearly 10% share of Intel, converted out of CHIPS Act grant money. Today, the federal government is Intel’s largest single shareholder.

    Wonder what that 8.9 billion is worth now...

    I've read somewhere that it is still a more than 200% grow in value, even considering the last dive. Will post the source if I find it again...
    EDIT : Here "Even accounting for Friday’s expected drop, the value of the government’s stake in Intel has grown by 280%."

    Wall Street spent years pricing every chip company as if humanity would soon need a GPU to make toast. Then Intel mentions that people aren’t buying overpriced PCs, and a trillion dollars evaporates. Apparently the most advanced semiconductor technology on Earth still can’t manufacture realistic expectations.

    It manufactures billions short term for a few people, who don't care about the shit storm they created. They'll be sleeping like babies (or with babies, depends on the billionaire in question) while the rest of the world starves.
