Trump’s surprise U-turn on Intel’s CEO 🤯
Musk’s legal cannons aimed at Apple over AI favoritism 📱
What SaaS leaders think in tech 🗣️

Donald Trump and Intel’s new boss Lip-Bu Tan just met, days after Trump told him to “resign immediately.” Awkward much?
🚨 Breaking News:
After calling Tan “highly conflicted,” Trump met him to discuss Intel’s U.S. tech plans. This is a big tone shift from last week.
⚡ Wire Simplified:
Lip-Bu Tan became Intel CEO in March after tough times in the AI race.
Trump first demanded Tan’s resignation over China ties.
Now they are talking “constructive plans” for U.S. chip leadership.
Intel is cutting costs and slowing factory projects in Europe and Ohio.
Nvidia also met Trump, securing a deal to sell chips to China with a 15 percent cut to the U.S.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Trump went from “You’re fired” vibes to “Let’s work together” in less than a week. Politics moves faster than chipmaking.

Grok is number five overall but not in Apple’s “Must-Have” list.
