“Xavier Niel, I hate you, I propose a 1v1 in front of the Lidl on rue Sainte in Marseille“. Here is the tweet published on May 20 by a user of the X network, frustrated to see his web connection, provided by the operator Free, alter his online performance on the game Call of Duty. A message like so many others, which could have remained in the depths of the network supported by Elon Musk, but which was seen by Xavier Niel himself, the boss of Free.
Xavier Niel ready to fight with a Call of Duty player? So yes, but no
Also, on November 15, this same Xavier Niel, passing through Marseille, quoted the tweet in question, with a simple message “I'm waiting for you“. The whole thing is accompanied by a selfie of the CEO of Free, in front of the Lidl on rue Sainte in Marseille. A publication that obviously shattered records, with more than 11 million views on the network.
Quickly, the Internet user wanted to indicate that he was joking, but Xavier Niel returned to the charge, this time in a video, by inviting the disgruntled Internet user to meet “in the parking lot“. “I'm here, I'm waiting for you. Where are you, where are you there ??” can be heard in the video posted by Xavier Niel.
Of course, none of this is to be taken seriously, and this 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 a huge reach, and to indirectly promote its Free network. Xavier, he understood everything.
It should be noted that the Lidl brand also got involved in the discussions, indicating: “You have to come and pick up the man who has been tweeting since this morning in front of the store on rue Sainte in Marseille please“.
Last October, Xavier Niel already made headlines 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, Free's parent company, announced that it had no fewer than 50.2 million subscribers in France, Italy and Poland.
