US to take 10% equity stake in Intel, in Trump’s latest corporate move. What are you thoughts on this from a privacy standpoint? I’m not close to being an expert on this tech, but can the US Government exploit this?

Because this is posted in the privacy com:
It does not meaningfully change any aspect of intelligence apparatus influence on microchip design and production.
It does however make now a great time to buy into intel for two reasons: number one there’s always gonna be a second player in the chip market and there’s no cyrix to step up so intel, from the perspective of the market, can’t actually fail. Number two it represents adoption of the “opponents” winning strategy on the part of the us and that’s ultimately a good thing.
There hasn’t been space for a scrappy underdog in the microchip design industry for at least three decades now and that’s not gonna change even with distributed fabrication and the arm/riscv ecosystem of licensed chunks of silicon. Intel is not too big to fail, it’s too extant to fail and the question now is just how far it needs to fall/how much of our tax dollars have to be pumped into it before the market realizes that.
