“Xavier Niel, I hate you, I offer you a 1v1 in front of the Lidl on rue Sainte in Marseille“. This is the tweet published on May 20 by a Network A message like so many others, which could have remained in the abysses of the network carried by Elon Musk, but which was seen by Xavier Niel himself, the boss of Free.
Xavier Niel ready to do battle with a Call of Duty player? So yes, but no
Also, on November 15, this same Xavier Niel, passing through Marseille, cited the tweet in question, with a simple message “I’m waiting for you“. Everything is accompanied by a selfie of the CEO of Free, in front of the Lidl on rue Sainte in Marseille. A publication which obviously shattered records, with more than 11 million views on the network.

Quickly, the Internet user wanted to indicate that he was laughing, but Xavier Niel returned to the charge, on video this time, inviting the disgruntled Internet user to meet “in the parking lot“. “I’m there, I’m waiting for you. Where are you, where are you??” can we hear in the video published by Xavier Niel.

Obviously, none of this is to be taken seriously, and it is a humorous response from Xavier Niel, who has been an expert on the subject for several years now. Enough to allow the tweet(s) to benefit from an enormous reach, and to indirectly highlight its Free network. Xavier, he understood everything.
Note that the Lidl brand also took part in the discussions, indicating: “We must come and collect the gentleman who has been tweeting since this morning in front of the store on rue Sainte in Marseille please“.
Last October, Xavier Niel already made waves with the launch of his Bordel Generator, a meme portal developed to mock one of Free’s main rivals, namely the Orange network. Recently, the Iliad group, parent company of Free, announced that it had no less than 50.2 million subscribers in France, Italy and Poland.
