EU chip goal 'unrealistic' says ASML CEO

This is an existential goal, so what if it doesn't appear realistic.

Satisfying natural gas demand without The Pipe was also unrealistic.

So you don’t have to click through:

“ The goal of the EU’s $43 billion Chips Act of achieving a 20% world market share for European producers by 2030”

The US has what, 10%, according to that.

Realistically, ASML is controlled by the US Army. I am not saying this lightly. NATO's top priority in Europe is ASML, and NATO is mostly a US extension.

This can become very realistic by 2025 even. Just poach the brains at ASML, shower them with money (you know those fucking 50 millions bonuses that shitty CEO's enjoy nowadays), give them free hand for all decisions (both tech creativity and management) and voila! - goal achieved. Doubt will happen since this "goal" smells more like another "it's electoral year, let's make some noise in the press" rather than an actual objective.
