The problem with Intel weren’t the technical people. It started with the board laying off people, borrowing money to pay dividends to investors, bad strategy, not building relationships with customers who didn’t want to work with them for fabs, etc and then firing the CEO who had a strategy that they knew was going to take years fo implement

It wasn’t because of “DI&E” initiatives and a refusal to hire white people

> borrowing money to pay dividends to investor

That's scam. If you fail to profit, you should admit it, not fake it.

Apple did that too for awhile just because it was cheaper for them to borrow money than repatriate their foreign income and pay taxes.

The issue with Intel though is that they needed the money to invest in R&D.

Cool. And the bad decisions were made by who exactly? Intel executives & employees.

Intel didn’t hire the board. The board did hire the CEO. The bad decisions either made weren’t the results of “DE&I” initiatives.
