If money was the answer for Intel it wouldn't have gotten into it's current state. I thought it all got started with passing on EUV but since that's been addressed the downfall has taken on a life of it's own. A lot is now sitting on the shoulders of Lip-Bu Tan. The warrants exercisable only if Intel gives up 51% of foundry business is a bit peculiar. How does that fit into this story? It seems current actions favour handing control of IFS to TSMC of which Intel mgt doesn't concur.

I'm the CEO of a company with a BOD loyal to me. The government first contends I'm a Chinese agent and demands my resignation. Using back channel communications, I learn that I can get $10 billion in taxpayer money, keep my job [see, below], and get effusive public praise, in exchange for (a) selling 10% [at a discount] of the company (I'm giving away other people's property) and (b) an agreement to vote for anything I order my captured BOD to approve. It's a no brainer. (And, along the way I'll have the BOD increase their and my compensation, just to make the deal sweeter.) (Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan's compensation package for his first year is valued at approximately $69 million, including a $1 million base salary, a potential performance-based bonus of $2 million, and $66 million in stock options and long-term stock awards.) [This is a model to be used on other companies - QCOM included.]
