Deregulate RISC-V, threaten Intel with loss of IP if they can't profit on fabs, threaten to cut Softbank off of American companies if Masayoshi Son won't onshore RISC manufacturing.

There's soft-power coercion left on the table, the only thing we buy with Intel stock is a C-suite's dinner bill.

> Deregulate RISC-V

What does that even mean?!?

It's already OSS and royalty free. I've participated Series A and B rounds on startups working on RISC-V design.

> threaten Intel with loss of IP if they can't profit on fabs

Investing in Capex is inherently going to put you in a loss for several quarters

> threaten to cut Softbank off of American companies if Masayoshi Son won't onshore RISC manufacturing

He doesn't own RISC-V IP.
