China is taking Taiwan unless Xi randomly dies of a heart attack.

It’s safer to have an alternative to tsmc knowing this.

As someone who has used an Intel mac, then moved up to a M3, please god no. Intel macs were some of the worst things Apple has ever made.

Where's Microsoft? They have the most to lose if Intel goes under.

Is this Tim Cook’s way of getting preferential treatment from the Trump administration?

It will be more than just Apple. Trump got in first. He'll arm twist the others to take token stakes and set up some working relationship. Nvidia doesn't need to take a $5B stake in Intel. Did Apple ever have a stake in TSMC? Whether or not this changes any of Intel's actual problems over the long term is a different matter.
