The choice of SpaceX
Via an email to which the media was able to access, Elon Musk would have entrusted his executives with the mission of preparing a solid acquisition plan, capable of convincing the Intel board of directors and passing the threshold of the inspection of competition authorities.
Why SpaceX, and not Tesla or xAI? Analysts say the space company’s financial strength and the confidence it inspires among investors make it an ideal platform. An acquisition of Intel would allow Elon Musk to strengthen his semiconductor-intensive projects, such as Starlink satellites, but also Tesla vehicles or even his artificial intelligence tools, including the Grok conversational robot (developed by xAI ).

Possible reasons for the buyout
Another question we could ask is: why is it in the interest of Elon Musk and the United States to buy Intel? There is obviously a strategic interest behind all this: Intel remains an essential lever for reducing the United States’ dependence on Asian semiconductor suppliers. A takeover by an American company would be seen as a gesture in favor of industrial sovereignty. In this context, the support of the American administration could therefore play a key role, especially since Elon Musk is an integral part of this administration.

But if Elon Musk succeeds in taking over Intel, what direction could the company take? Charlie Demerjian, journalist at SemiAccurate at the origin of the information, recalls that the billionaire has already imposed drastic cuts in his previous acquisitions, notably at fired 80% of the social network’s workforce since its acquisition. There would therefore be a possibility that Intel, already weakened, would experience a shock under the aegis of the South African entrepreneur naturalized American.
