"Tesla CEO Elon Musk trolled budget airline Ryanair on his social media platform X this week following the company's refusal to adopt Starlink internet on its planes. Earlier this week, it was reported that Ryanair did not plan to install Starlink internet services on its planes due to its budgetary nature and short flight spans, which are commonly only an hour or so in total duration."
"Musk responded by asking, "How much would it cost to buy you?" Then followed up with the idea of buying the company and replacing the CEO with someone named Ryan: I really want to put a Ryan in charge of Ryan Air. It is your destiny. Polymarket now states that there is an 8 percent chance that Musk will purchase Ryanair, which would cost Musk roughly $36 billion, based on recent financial data of the public company."
Elon Musk publicly taunted Ryanair on X after Ryanair declined to install Starlink internet on its short, budget-focused flights. Ryanair cited budget constraints and brief flight durations as reasons for not adopting Starlink. Musk asked how much it would cost to buy Ryanair and proposed appointing someone named Ryan as CEO. Prediction market odds placed an 8 percent chance on a Musk acquisition, implying an approximate $36 billion valuation. Starlink recently surpassed nine million active customers, and Musk has previously acquired and rebranded a major social platform.
