Oh yay, let’s swap out dependency on american tech overlords to European tech overlords. That was exactly what everyone wanted.
Will they pay salaries like the Big Tech companies in the US?
They put tariffs on chinese goods so they can sell them better with a too greasy hefty profit.
I welcome this for once. EU based datacenters is the right way to go. Build few, AI bubble bursts, tadaa – free datacenter.
Billionaire or not, Lidl employees, while under a lot of pressure, enjoy by far biggest salaries among food retailers. I mean, they get to have M5 bmws as a company car?! Who does that.
And all those wonders, at Bad Friedrichshall. Imagine what they could have achieved if they had chosen Good Friedrichshall…

Their STACKIT is already a serious contender for European based cloud platforms.
They have the advantage of having build stuff in house for their own use and then were able to scale things up to have paying customers make use of it. Additionally at the size they are already at they have connections and reputation throughout Europe, which helps competing for contracts especially government contracts.
