>the US is going to freak out about foreign influence

The irony of posing this as hysterical considering 99% of this thread is people saying "Good! The EU shouldn't be dependent on foreign influences!!"

Well, he is asking why the EU is not trying to influence US tech.

[Ecstatify → drstewart]

The Norwegian pension fund already owns roughly 1% of many of the large tech giants, not sure what percentage would cause the US to start freaking out, especially as the EU is a close ally.

Meta Platforms Inc 1.01%

Twitter 0.89%

Alphabet Inc 0.85%

Apple Inc 0.84%

Amazon.com Inc 0.81%

That's very far from a controlling stake, by design if memory serves well regarding the Norwegian pension fund. Also, Norway is not part of the EU.
