"Musk on late Monday launched a poll on social media platform X which he owns asking his followers whether he should buy Ryanair and "restore Ryan as their rightful ruler." The vote saw over 900,000 participants, with a majority clicking "Yes". There was no immediate response from Ryanair regarding the poll."
"In an interview with Irish radio Newstalk, O'Leary refused to use Musk's Starlink satellite internet system to equip his planes with wifi. The airline boss estimated that it would cost nearly $250 million (213 million euros) a year as the aerial antenna would drag on the aircraft, burning more fuel. Ryanair's passengers would also not want to pay for the internet usage, O'Leary added."
"The situation soon evolved into a public spat, with the two business giants trading insults. The Irishman labelled Musk an idiot, while the Tesla chief was quick to hit back, describing O'Leary as "a real idiot". Musk even called for O'Leary's firing."
Elon Musk launched a poll on social media X asking followers if he should buy Ryanair and "restore Ryan as their rightful ruler," drawing over 900,000 votes with a majority in favor. The exchange followed Michael O'Leary's refusal to equip Ryanair planes with Musk's Starlink satellite internet, citing roughly $250 million annually in cost and added drag that would burn more fuel, and arguing passengers would not pay for internet. The disagreement turned into a public spat with mutual insults and calls for O'Leary's firing. Ryanair's market value is estimated near $35 billion.
