https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/29/the-fed-is-buying-some-of-the-biggest-companies-bonds-raising-questions-over-why.html

"The Federal Reserve is continuing to buy corporate bonds, following up on a pledge it made in March.

Questions have been raised over “moral hazard” as the Fed buys debt from companies that don’t seem to need the central bank’s help."

Remember back in 2008/2009 the Federal government's bailout of the auto industry bought a stake in that in that industry until they purchased it back from the feds.
