US Gov't Made $9B on Intel in 4 Months. What Did You Get?
Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive into five major tech and business developments shaping the landscape. First, the U.S. government has become Intel’s largest shareholder by doubling its initial $8.9 billion CHIPS Act investment in just four months, a pivotal move to secure semiconductor supply chains that raises important questions about free-market competition in Silicon Valley. Next, we unpack CrowdStrike’s $740 million acquisition of SGNL, a strategic play to revolutionize identity security with continuous access control for AI agents amid an intensifying cybersecurity arms race. Third, we explore the corporate chaos caused by the enduring reliance on Microsoft Excel for critical data, examining how efforts to replace this 40-year-old software could redefine enterprise data strategies and disrupt established workflows. Fourth, General Motors’ $7.1 billion charge to downscale its electric vehicle ambitions signals a significant retreat that’s being rewarded by Wall Street, with major implications for the North American EV supply chain and transatlantic policy differences. Finally, we analyze Elon Musk’s xAI $20 billion investment in a Mississippi data center, a bold vertical integration strategy leveraging next-generation Nvidia chips to accelerate dominance in the competitive AI infrastructure race.
