Episode notes
Pelosi's Chip Stock Trades
- Paul Pelosi traded chip stocks right before a House vote on subsidies for chip companies.
- This looks like corruption, and mainstream media is ignoring it, claims David Sacks.
Inefficient Chip Subsidies
- Providing subsidies to chip companies like Intel and NVIDIA for onshoring chip manufacturing is inefficient.
- Tax breaks or other incentives might be better, suggests David Sacks.
Better Incentives for Onshoring
- Instead of handouts, incentivize onshoring with low-interest, long-term loans.
- Include warrants to potentially profit, similar to Tesla's successful loan repayment.
