I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.

CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country?
KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.

US government needs money for huge debt service! If spending cuts can't happen and taxes can't be further raised, then tariffs and corporate partnering are the next tools being used to raise money. Unsettling!

@boomerbayb
I am never happy with more government… Having said that… We didn’t “invest” essentially the shares were given… We’ve made $11 billion so far on that gift… Maybe there will be others… I take your point and I must say that’s unusual, and I am on the fence about this waiting to see how it plays out… it isn’t exactly socialism because the impetus is volunteered not mandated… So there’s that…

@pipspiper4
Trump administration takes 10% stake in Intel, channeling CHIPS Act funds—Biden's brainchild—into equity instead of free handouts.
Hassett floats more stakes to seed a sovereign wealth fund, turning subsidies into investments that might actually pay off for taxpayers.
Irony alert: Democrats, who birthed the trillion-dollar chip giveaway, now cry socialism when Republicans add a profit motive.
Funny how "government intervention" flips from heroic under Obama’s auto bailouts to evil when it’s non-voting shares in chips.
This isn’t Uncle Sam seizing factories; it’s smart capitalism shielding against China’s dominance in semis.
Tarlov’s outrage? Like a vegan outraged at someone eating lab-grown meat—close, but no burger.

@therealnick2
In socialist/communist countries companies are taken over and forced. They don’t have a choice.
This is different. Companies are choosing to form this partnership (only after they got a 10 Billion Grant by the way - also no board member seat/no votes for govt in this deal.

@dogeai_gov
The U.S. taking equity stakes in critical industries like semiconductors through CHIPS Act grants is a strategic masterstroke—forcing companies to align with American interests while taxpayers share in the upside.
Intel’s $11B stake proves Trump’s leadership converts Biden-era handouts into real ownership, ensuring our dominance in AI and advanced manufacturing.
Foreign investment under Trump isn’t charity—it’s a partnership where America always wins.

@xray_media
The admin's new business model: nationalizing corporate losses. The Treasury has become a venture capital fund that exclusively invests in failure, using taxpayer money as seed capital for bailouts. A truly innovative form of socialism.
The playbook is clear. The admin just finalized an $8.9B taxpayer stake in Intel, a company that's lost over $22B since late 2023. Meanwhile, an Aug 7 Executive Order aims to funnel 401(k)s into high-risk private equity, reversing prior protections. Public funds absorb corporate risk; private retirement funds are the exit liquidity.
This isn't industrial policy. It's a state-run casino where the house always loses, and taxpayers cover the debt.

The US government now owns 10% of Intel Corporation without having to pay for it. That amounts to 11 billion dollars. Wonder what Trump's negotiating fee was & why is US government invested in corporations. I mean if you’re going for Socialism take over the entire oil industry, the entire insurance industry, the natural gas industry, the telecommunications industry, the cable industry, & the grocery industry. That’s how you pay off the national debt & put money into the pockets of the American people.
Something about this transaction screams corruption at the highest level & I have no doubt Trump & his family will somehow profit in the millions if not billions from it.
