In the same way they famously invested 10% in Intel, which has proved volatile at best?

They didn't "invest". The Dems gave Intel free money to invest in fabs. The next President said the US public got ripped off by that and got a 10% stake "for free" to try and make up for it.

It was worth $8.9 billion when the US govt got it "for free". It's worth $23B today, even after the big drops recently. How is the US public worse off?
