U.S. ‌antitrust agencies ⁠had cleared Nvidia’s investment in Intel, according to a notice ‍posted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission earlier in December.

Are they even giving reasons anymore? Or is the "antitrust agency" just a guy napping in a corner they periodically wake up just to give a thumbs up?

It’s called antitrust now cause it’s the opposite of trust

Nah. Guy in the corner napping died 40 years ago, but they taped a sheet of paper on him saying "No Issues. Approved"

i was reading earlier that this is looking more and more like ENRON style accounting and acquisition. That ended badly but it didn't happen on a scale that NVIDIA is currently treading

Oh god yes....

The talking heads are going to point out how obvious it should have been at this time too.

At first glance I had read the headline like this:

Nvidia takes $ ... Intel

:-)

Why would they blame the poor? The need the poor to be their excuse for getting a bailout. Not sure how they'll sell it yet, but somehow all the AI companies will get bailouts to "help the poor" through our upcoming difficult economic times
