What if the EU bought some big chunk of Mozilla, something like Mozilla EU, and then ran it? Would the US then cry out against EU buying US companies and start to fund Mozilla?

There's a sort of precedent for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_Bridge
State won't fund your bridge repair? You can always ask the Soviet Union.
Interesting! Though maybe these days we could ask China instead.
American here. We'd bitch, piss, and moan about the EU buying US companies. We wouldn't fund Firefox though, we'd be more likely to give a huge government contract to facebook to reskin chrome or some other stupid shit.
