Corporate taxes don't work and taxing the rich is super hard. Could this be a way for the state to suplement tax revenue?

It creates a lot of perverse incentives, and is probably a bad idea in the long run. If the govt makes more money when intel is successful, then the govt is incentivized to sabotage Intel's competitors (e.g. through tariffs, export controls, and many other powers). This distorts the free market that is (allegedly) at the center of America's success

No, not enough money in it.

Tax the rich.
