Trump generally gets what he wants..
so he's probably been triggered based on advice of someone like Howard Lutnick and probably JD Vance.
So LBT is a zombie CEO already and now Intel starts over on it's search.
Maybe Stacy Smith steps in as interim, highly doubtful they will use DZ (or MJ) again.
Trump doesn't generally get what he wants. He usually chickens out. That's why he's called TACO.
@hx what’s up with Def Met?
But the def met leadership will continue to survive
Pay made a lot of people rich by not doing anything for a few years, good job pat!
The comments by the OP and many others here say a lot about why Intel is where it is now. “Bring back an incompetent CEO, get the foreigners out, we lazy old American employees are the greatest”.
Just replace these types with Indian H1Bs and be done with it. Problem solved. Any questions? No? Alrighty then!
@f5 , OP chiming in again..
Trump really DOESN'T need to care about who Intel's CEO is??
all Trump is doing is messaging what JD Vance and Howard Lutnick want done that's all.
They obviously want LBT gone from Intel and who knows who the birdie is chiping in their ears? This is all political motivation here, and I'll be glad to see LBT gone as well.
Pure lunacy to suggest having PG return. And to think that Trump always gets what he wants is delusion. The guy is a wimp.
You sir are a psycho. Pat is why where in the place we are in today. LBT didn’t do this. Pat did. His legacy will be that of “THE MAN WHO KI-LED INTEL!”
I like to see Pat back to finish what he started.
FAFO, CCPslime.
If they can remotely show LBT is a security risk, Secure Enclave initiative goes away along with all the $$$ spent on building rehabs.
Doesn't really matter what Trump does or not. A spotlight was already shining on LBT before the Dorito spoke.
It may not be immediate, but he will eventually not have a choice and the board (Ft. Yearly) will be removed.
I don't care who is CEO as long as they bring back WFH.
Well, that’s inconvenient.
"zombie CEO" def:
“The CEO equivalent of a fax machine—still technically functioning, but nobody’s sure why.”
loser @ac
So you're telling me there might be a chance?
Yeeaahh!
He will humbly stay forever
What would be some interesting and unexpected parlays for this situation when betting on it in Vegas?
Based on INTC still being at 19.7 and not crashed yet, smart money and insiders reckon Trump is eventually going to TACO
Come on folks. Do you think you can keep LBT And the Chips act money? Intel leaderships incompetence knows no bounds.
I replied in this manner for all of those suffering from TDS. Obviously.
It's ALWAYS useful to try to find out what's really going on... He's being investigated for links to the CCP. He's COMPROMISED. The fact that Intel makes bad decisions is nobody's fault but Intel's fault. I know it's not nice to hear it, but it's factually the issue here.
Go ahead and downvote this post, no problem.
Intel’s chief ‘conflicted,’ former directors call for a new company, a new board and a new CEO

$3B DOD contract
Deadline should be by 9/7 when the Senate reconvenes. If he is still CEO I expect multiple congressional supeneas for him and board members. When you take tax payer money, you better know WTF you are doing. This is not a game LBT or the board will win.
How much of Intel's business come from Uncle Sam?
