That's a silly and naive take. This investment will tremendously boost the semiconductor ecosystem in Germany. In the long run, this will do wonders when German companies want to or have to expand their capabilities, find more employees, design, package or assemble chips, buy wafers, equipment, supply chain, you name it.

It's about building an ecosystem, much like SV. People on HN of all places should know this.

You likely didn't hear much about any great Intel chips for the last nearly decade.

This is why they have changed the top management, and are changing internally, as much as I can judge by the press.
