- duskwuff 6y agoThat's assuming that TSMC (and the Taiwanese state standing behind it) would put up with that. I suspect they wouldn't.
- colinmhayes 6y agoWell the point of a hostile takeover is that the current controller doesn't want to sell. They lose control because enough stockholders who previously supported them are willing to sell. It looks like the founder only controls 7%, so I don't think it would be impossible to find enough stock that is willing to be sold.
