US: Tesla Roadster. EU: tethered bottle caps. I made that joke too. But let me be serious for a moment. Made in Europe. Europe built it. Others told the story. The Web was born at CERN. Linux in Helsinki. Python in Amsterdam. ARM, the chip in your phone and your Mac, in Cambridge. DeepMind in London. The first commercial microprocessor was designed by an Italian, Federico Faggin. Every leading-edge chip on Earth is printed with ASML machines from the Netherlands. Mistral trains frontier open models in Paris. Hugging Face: French founders, although it is headquartered in New York. llama.cpp, the engine of local AI, started in Bulgaria. The first mRNA vaccine came from Mainz. Europe doesn’t lack innovation. It lacks a megaphone. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Innovation without narrative becomes someone else’s success. This isn’t Europe vs. anyone. I love innovation wherever it happens. I just want Europeans to feel proud and optimistic about the future again. Did I miss something relevant here?
