We hear talks about Broadcom planning to buy Intel. Anyone else heard this too?

If I were to take a WAG I would say the deal if there was one is dead.
The era of deflation is coming. The bubble asset prices crash will create a deflation. It becomes impossible to pay back the loans in a deflationary environment. I guess people will pick up the pieces from where they fell after the mayhem. Real estate crash of China is the blueprint for most western economies in the next few years. Broadcom will not payback the 75 billion in outstanding debt. They will go into liquidation. Stock holders like Dell will be wiped out. Debt will be repaid with pennies on the dollar.

Wall Street banks to sell billions in loans given to Elon Musk for purchase of X
90 cents on the dollar. Cheap. Genius who fired 80% of the workforce. Destroyed a fine company.
This seems like a silly notion, but "because Hock said he wouldn't" isn't a compelling argument to me
Just do a news search and you will find MANY articles from Sept 2024 regarding this, with a quote from Hock Tan stating that he will NOT be doing any hostile takeovers, and no one has asked him to buy Intel.
Broadcom doesn’t buy companies. Silver Lake buys companies. Then they sell them or merge them.
So the conspiracy is that VMware was sold by Michael Dell to Broadcom in order to position Gelsinger at Intel so that Broadcom could later acquire a business group from Intel called Altera? Or is the goal to sell Altera and then Broadcom acquire the remains of Intel?
In both cases, Silver Lake has reported to be involved in acquisition talks for Altera.
Trump did not approve the Broadcom and Qualcomm deal, why would he approve a sale of Intel to Broadcom?
Two years left to su-k the life out of VMware and then he can raid his next corporate victim and put more people on the street.
Taiwan is what will be used to derail Trump. Don't worry about Intel. The tariffs is direct poking the pooh bear. Chinese stocks meltdown has just started. Bird flu is plan B. Switch to beef.
U.S. stocks--concentrated in a mere 7 stocks--are now 67% of the entire global stock market. For context, China's stock market has a 3% share of the global stock market, the American populace is about 4% of the global population, and America's GDP is 26% of the global GDP in nominal terms and around 15% when adjusted for PPP (purchase price parity).

7000 is the final number for VMware. Lot more work to do before buying another company. Biden is gone. Can't buy Intel for 4 years. VCF 9.0 and the employee count will go down to 7000. I have only 5 million saved. Is it enough? I will survive somehow.
