Interestingly enough, Moore's purchase came just before the government announced plans to potential take a 10% stake in the chipmaker.

Mixed Opinions On Government Stake in Intel
There are mixed opinions on whether the U.S. government should take a stake in Intel, an idea that President Donald Trump is currently considering.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a noted opponent of President Trump, supports the potential stake in Intel.
"If microchip companies profit from the generous grants they receive from the federal government, American taxpayers have a right to reasonable return on that investment," Sanders said, as reported by Reuters.
Sanders said taxpayers should not be providing billions of dollars to corporations like Intel without getting anything back in return.
Entrepreneur and "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O’Leary isn't a fan of the potential government stake.
“I hate this idea a lot,” O’Leary said on the potential government stake in Intel.
O’Leary told hosts on NewsNation that he would never put his money into Intel, calling the chip stock a loser.
“In technology, we let the losers die and their assets get acquired by the winners. That’s what makes America great.”
The investor said that people don’t need to back losers like Intel. O’Leary asked why taxpayers would be forced to invest in the dying company.
Instead, O'Leary said companies should get tax incentives and should favor private investments where the investors, not taxpayers, take on the risk.
Members of Congress will not be voting on whether the government takes a stake in Intel, but they did pass the original CHIPS Act that set aside funds for chipmakers like Intel. Several members of Congress could benefit if Intel stock trades higher in the future.
