Not even close. All of those are meh in terms of market cap and have plenty of competition making them easily replaceable by US alternatives.
The likes of Apple, Nvidia, Office365, Google, are irreplaceable in the EU, and they could buy all of those companies if they wanted to.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYes, and? How much money does arm make for the EU economy? How much money do Apple and Nvidia make for the US economy?
- Terretta 3y agoNot present tense. Point is whether EU could reach critical mass or domination, not whether could sustain. In their day, RIM (Canada) for biz and Nokia (EU) for normies destroyed US mobile sales.
