This is some of the most bonker news I've heard.

The US gov paying billions to get shares in a company, and no board seat in return. Intel hasn't issued any dividends this year, in spite of a long standing tradition to issue quarterly dividends. The company is arguably on a downtrend with dwindling market share and losing the competing battle with AMD in terms of technology.
There is nothing wrong with this, what is bonker about it? Should they continue to give free money handouts and get nothing in return for it whenever some idiots from management fuck up a company? A board seat is not necessary.

So the US gov under Trump is now continuing to take stakes in private business... Do you think this will put the US ahead in the world arena or will they continue to be laggards in technology?
Plenty of other governments have done the same, including Taiwan. Stop watchingLess CNN and do somemore research sir.

TSMC’s largest shareholder is the National Development Fund, which owns 6.4% of all shares. No other shareholder owns more than a 5% stake. A sizable stake probably still belongs to a company founder Morris Chang who might own around 0.5% of the company.
