Desperate measures to save Intel: US reportedly forcing TSMC to buy 49% stake in Intel to secure tariff relief for Taiwan

"You need to give intel a bunch of money to stop them going out of business! Or we won't buy your chips" - US

"You mean bail out our only competition, which when it closes means you can basically only buy from us? " - TSMC

The art of the deal!

Everyone in this regime behaves like one of Tim Robinson's characters in I Think You Should Leave

Fucking jeniuses
