"Budget airline Ryanair amped up its feud with Elon Musk on Tuesday by offering a Great Idiots deal in honor of the Tesla CEO, following what the airline called his latest twitsh*t. The Irish airline mocked Musk in a post on X the platform he owns. Musk knows even less about airline ownership rules than he does about aircraft aerodynamic, airline CEO Michael O'Leary said."
"Ryanair's post added: Perhaps Musk needs a break?? Ryanair is launching a Great Idiots seat sale especially for Elon and any other idiots on X'. 100,000 seats for just 16.99 one-way. Buy now before Musk gets one!!! The company then posted a graphic hyping the promo. It included an AI version of O'Leary bopping Musk on the head with an I love Ryanair sign."
"Their feud started last week, when O'Leary said adding Musk's Starlink satellite technology would add 2% fuel drag to Ryanair's planes which he said would force the airline to spend about $250 million more a year on gas. I would pay no attention whatsoever to Elon Musk, he told Irish station Newstalk. He's an idiot. Very wealthy, but he's still an idiot What Elon Musk knows about flights and drag would be zero."
Ryanair escalated a public feud with Elon Musk by posting a promotional "Great Idiots" seat sale aimed at Musk and other users on X. CEO Michael O'Leary criticized Musk's knowledge of airline ownership rules and aircraft aerodynamics, and the airline posted an AI graphic depicting O'Leary bopping Musk. The spat traces to O'Leary's claim that integrating Musk's Starlink would add about 2% fuel drag and cost roughly $250 million annually in extra fuel. Musk replied that O'Leary was misinformed and asked followers whether he should buy Ryanair and replace O'Leary with a CEO named Ryan.
