No responsible board should sell as much as a paper clip to this sociopathic weenis piss baby.

This was always the inevitable outcome of capitalism. Just some rich lying dipshit buying the world.

That's one way to finally kill x86.

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.

Sounds terrible. I'm sure it'll happen cuz we live in hell.

Right, because Intel needs MORE problems.

They have to old slogan of intel inside ready to be rebranded as incel inside

Isn't he busy enough buying the United States right now?

On one hand “noooo!” But on the other this would be great for ARM and RISC-v if Intel tanks.

That would be good news for AMD

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?

This rumor sounds like a crypto pump and dump.

Please buy Intel stock so we can sell ours!!

This is the only reputable outlet that had anything to say about it.

They reference SemiAccurate as the source, which I have not heard of before, but seems to have a solid track record with accurate reporting.

GET. FUCKED. MUSK.

I have to say, having an all-AMD setup makes me feel slightly okay today, even though AMD is just another shit company. At least it's not in the running to be owned by that fucking tool.

I appreciate him doing this after intel lost their magic, otherwise, it would have been much harder emotionally.

AMD: “Go for it!”

Holy fuck no thank you

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%?

I was about to get extremely upset, and then I remembered I haven't used intel since 2012.

Everyone is focusing on Musk but uh, Global Foundries wants to be involved in buying Intel?

The same Global Foundries that's utterly incapable of progressing their tech stack?

The one AMD created when they got rid of their foundries and was happy to do so?

That amuses the shit out of me.

If Leon buys Intel, then I will switch permanently to AMD or the loser is playing with the market.

Lmfao oh man because AMD wasn't encroaching enough on intels market share, make your brand even more political than it already is. Hitching their trailer to a beneficiary of apartheid is notoriously on brand for them though, so there's that.

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.

Let's hope it's just another wccftech article pulled out of author's anus...

Of course Elon Musk wants his grubby hands on the Arizona chip factory.

As if Intel doesn't have enough problems. That dipshit buying them would probably destroy them.
