Interesting idea. And with Musk's ties to Trump, he doesn't need to buy Intel himself. The shake-up doesn't need to fit stereotypes, nor (with the current SCOTUS) satisfy legal niceties. If Musk told Trump "great countries make their own chips", the national security establishment echoed that, and Pat wound up in charge of Intel's fabs, with "Make Great Chips" for his marching orders...could Pat make that work out? It certainly would be interesting.
