lending

Is not owning
Why would you be OK with one and not the other?

Also, many types of loans come with equity participation. So, very commonly, lending IS owning.

Lending probably gives us rights like ownership, without having ownership.. ie how the data is farmed from customers.. who has access to the data, etc.. and the ultimate goal is to keep it out of China's hands.. so that's probably why we would be willing to finance the sale

Ownership involves decision making and an obligation to stakeholders to make money in a competitive private market. What could possibly go wrong?

Keep pumping up socialism.

Passive warrant upside is quite common. That is - non-voting stakes NOT involved in decision making.

Sure it is. Why should the taxpayers' return on its capital be limited to simple interest? At the very least, A LOT more interest should be charged.

I feel like this goes into the “inject yourself with bleach to cure COVID” bucket of stupidest ideas that have come out of DJT’s mouth
