It clearly falls outside the confines of the CHIP Act intent.
Article also points out how utterly ridiculous the idea of a "quantum chip foundry" is in 2026.
@ey only 3 badges ?? You must be joking.
As a wannbe executive, you must get at least 7 or more badges (worthless or not) in a week or get a PIP immediately. Make sure your devout, church going first line knows about this, or he will be on a PIP too.
I am in the US
Next week I am off the entire week and will be taking more courses and aiming for 3 badges
@em
Don’t you take any time off.
Today, is some kind of holiday in India,
Get a life.
@bv it shouldn't surprise anyone, Dario and Arvind are a couple of crooked, self serving, thieving reprobates who are out to make a fast buck any which way they can. They would sell their mothers and grandmothers if they could make 5 cents on the sale.
That is how low these two people are; there are no depths of depravity that they will not sink to for their love of money.
I wouldn't trust either of them to sit the right way on a toilet seat.
Didn’t Dario also over see the firing of ALL of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s governing body

Bob says silly goose its Alderan, where princess someone came from.
All those that move to Alderon will eventually be lost when the Empire uses the Death Star to destroy it... I read it somewhere...in a galaxy far far away...
What happens to all to IBMers moving to Alderon?
Glad to someone in Congress is standing up to check the legality of what has been proposed by the Trump administration for what is a pie-in-the-sky, knee je-k attempt to maintain a lead in the non-existent area of Quantum chip manufacture.
If the crooked Dario Gil is behind pushing $1 billion dollars into IBM's pockets, you can be sure IBM CEO Arvind Krishna is also behind the scheme. After all, Arvind negotiated Dario's placement and position into the Trump administration, so there has to be payback at some point. This could be a bad investment for the US government, and of course IBM management will slither away when things go down the toilet. Just look at what happened to Watson Healthcare under the guidance of Gin 'n Tonic Rometty. It ended belly up. The same is likely to happen with Anderon where Arvind's cronies will bail out once the going gets rough and nothing of any significant scientific or technological value materializes from the venture. Think negative because there is no such Quantum chip in existence at present - even as a prototype.
Based on past history, for any investment in IBM, the following applies - "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." If moving forward, the Government and Congress need to make sure their investment is protected against theft and loss, by making sure there are regular audits on progress of these so called Quantum chips. Dario and Arvind are fair weather executives, here today, gone tomorrow. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
