"Ryanair's war of words with Elon Musk has reached a new level. The Irish airline is hand-delivering a free ticket to X's Dublin office for Musk, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said in a Wednesday press conference. Ryanair has taken advantage of the feud by launching a "Big 'Idiot' Sale" with 100,000 tickets starting at £16.99, or about $23. Musk and O'Leary, arguably the world's most outspoken businessmen, have called each other idiots in a weeklong feud over Starlink in-flight WiFi."
""I've included myself and him in this 'Big Idiot' seat sale," O'Leary said Wednesday, referring to an ad that shows the pair brawling. "I suspect he's a bigger idiot than me, but nevertheless, he probably thinks I'm a bigger idiot than him." After trading insults over the past days, Musk posted a poll on X on Monday asking if he should buy Ryanair and install a CEO named Ryan. About three-quarters of the roughly 950,000 voters said yes."
Ryanair announced a hand-delivered free ticket for Elon Musk at X's Dublin office amid a public spat between CEO Michael O'Leary and Musk. Ryanair launched a "Big 'Idiot' Sale" offering 100,000 seats from £16.99 (about $23). The two businessmen traded insults over Starlink in-flight WiFi, calling each other idiots. Musk ran an X poll about buying Ryanair and installing a CEO named Ryan, with about three-quarters of roughly 950,000 voters supporting the idea, though EU rules require airlines to be at least 50% EU-owned. O'Leary said the insults boost Ryanair bookings and provide publicity.
