Trump Exposes Tech Giant’s Leader with Ties to People’s Liberation Army By Cole Harrison

One of America’s biggest tech companies got caught in a national security nightmare. The company’s leader? Well, let’s just say his loyalties might lie somewhere across the Pacific.

President Trump dropped a bombshell Thursday. He’s had enough of Intel’s CEO and his cozy China connections. Trump’s message? Get out. Now.

President Donald Trump on Thursday called for Intel’s CEO to resign as the tech company battles falling fortunes and criticism from the nation’s capital.

“The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Senator Tom Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, uncovered something that should make every American angry. Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan doesn’t just have a few Chinese business interests. The man controls dozens of Chinese companies. Dozens!

But wait, it gets worse. Cotton found that Tan has stakes in hundreds—yes, hundreds—of Chinese chip companies. Eight of them? They have ties to China’s military. The People’s Liberation Army. You know, the same military that considers us their enemy.

Here’s the kicker. When Tan ran Cadence Design Systems, that company got caught red-handed. They illegally sold products to a Chinese military university. Got caught. Pleaded guilty. All while Tan was in charge. Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

Intel got the biggest handout from Biden’s CHIPS Act. How much? Nearly $8 billion. That’s billion with a B. Your money. My money. And who’s running the show? A guy with more Chinese connections than a Beijing phone book.

Intel used to be the pride of American tech. Now? They’ve missed every major innovation in the last 20 years. Mobile revolution? Missed it. AI boom? Playing catch-up. Their stock has tanked 60% in recent years. Thursday alone? Down another 3% after Trump’s announcement.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? When the boss has divided loyalties, is it any surprise the company can’t compete? We’re in a tech war with China, people. This isn’t a game. The experts tell us whoever wins the chip race wins the future. Military power. Economic dominance. Everything.

This isn’t just about one shady CEO. It’s about protecting what makes America strong. When we hand out billions in taxpayer money, shouldn’t we make sure it goes to people who actually want America to win?

Trump’s doing what needs to be done. No more looking the other way. No more pretending that everyone plays fair. The days of letting foreign influence creep into our most important companies? Over.

Oh wow, breaking news! Lip-Bu Tan *checks notes* a board member, not the CEO of Intel, is secretly running a shadow empire of Chinese military tech companies from his desk in California. Terrifying stuff… if you ignore that Pat Gelsinger is still the actual CEO.

And Tan "controls" hundreds of companies? Sure...because owning minority venture stakes is the same as running a CCP command center, right? And that Cadence “scandal”? It involved a violation Cadence reported themselves, not some Bond villain scheme. But yeah, let’s panic because Intel got CHIPS Act funds, unlike your favorite subsidized oil companies. Keep clutching those pearls about “loyalties across the Pacific” while Intel tries to catch up with competitors your party let offshore.

But sure, tell me again how Trump’s Truth Social post is a classified intelligence briefing.

@sunsporter1649 Ooh wow! the ol’ Pelosi straw meme, truly the gold standard of intellectual rebuttal. I'm humbled by such a well-sourced and data-driven response.

Meanwhile, the topic was a board member’s minority investments, national security claims based on speculation, and a CEO who isn’t even the guy you’re targeting… but hey, why bother with facts when you’ve got memes from 2019 and a healthy fear of biodegradable drinkware?🤭
