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.

I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven't used intel since 2012.
This is still extremely bad for the industry, regardless of whether you personally use it.
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.
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%?
They have to old slogan of intel inside ready to be rebranded as incel inside
I appreciate him doing this after intel lost their magic, otherwise, it would have been much harder emotionally.
They lost it in CPUs, but I think they're actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))
Eh unless they have the most efficient overall, they won’t make inroads into the server market. The entry level laptop and desktop markets are getting smaller and has less margins.
Any source you can cite?
They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren't even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD
Isn't he busy enough buying the United States right now?
I thought that was bought and paid for already.
It's more of an ongoing project.
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
That would be good news for AMD
You don't need to buy an entire company to control or profit from it... He's really that dumb isn't he. He could do the whole Black Rock thing and control every company in the world, instead he has this idea of just owning everything.
I'm starting to suspect the price speculation of things he owns is by his own hand, nothing to do with the market whatsoever.

Right, because Intel needs MORE problems.
The modern Vanderbilt
No responsible board should sell as much as a paper clip to this sociopathic weenis piss baby.
What? It worked out for Twitter shareholders though.
What bothers me about all these political posts is when people act surprised when profit seeking people act purely in their self interest.
I agree it’s bad, but it’s weird to be constantly mad about things so obvious like parasites acting parasitically.

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.
I think elons would be needed to be broken down by government like the Rockefellers.
Musk-busting?

Let's hope it's just another wccftech article pulled out of author's anus...
Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.
Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.
Bad vibes, I say.
For those feeling out of the loop, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine
Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.
AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.
