On April 24, the financial outlook for chipmaker Intel indicated a sales recovery, leading to a 300% surge in the value of the U.S. government's stake in the company, reaching approximately $36 billion. Since the announcement of the investment between Intel and the U.S. government in August last year, the paper return has been nearly $27 billion. Intel's CEO secured White House support through a charm offensive, repaired relations with President Trump, and ultimately secured this investment.
