It's only a monopoly if the government says you are using market position anti-competitively and/or against the common good. If the US government says that chip production capability is now a national focus, companies can expect government cooperation for a joint venture.

No, its a monopoly if you have market power.
Itβs only illegal if you are abusing market power.
