Musk fuels speculation on the acquisition of Ryanair

This criticism (although with a certain amount of anticipation) may sometimes lead to the acquisition of a microblog service and a widely publicized sink installation at the company's headquarters. president Tesla, Elon Musk (54), has already proved that in the past. After Twitter, which he yet bought under duress, and Coca-Cola – about which he had already made a gag about – now it's time for Ryanair.

Musk had a verbal argument in fresh days with Irish airline chief Michael O’Leary (64) due to the fact that he did not want to install the Musk satellite net on his Starlink aircraft.

Because, as he explained in the radio broadcast, it would cost 1 euro per passenger per flight. And that was the price that his low-cost airline customers were not willing to pay. Moreover, according to O’Leary, who, like Musk, is celebrated for his calculated verbal explosions, Musk may be rich, but he's an idiot who has no thought about flights or air opposition and who campaigned for the president of the United States. Donald Trump (79) O’Leary called Trump’s program “X” a septic tank.

Musk replied by calling the president of Ryanair an ‘idiot’, who 10 times exaggerated the impact of Starlink antennas on fuel consumption. ‘The president of Ryanair is simply a complete idiot. Fire him," he wrote on X. And since the dispute clearly echoed among his supporters, he organised a poll asking whether he should simply buy Ryanair, valued at over EUR 30 billion, “and reconstruct Ryan to the function of legitimate ruler”.

Given that the founder of Ryanair, Tony Ryan, has been dead for more than 15 years, this has sparked lively speculation about who he actually meant. And will Musk yet be able to avenge generations without a penny to the souls of travelers? By 21:00, around 250,000 users voted – almost 80 percent were in favour. Just before midnight German time, this number exceeded half a million.

Musk most likely doesn't have time for another aviation adventure. He must reconstruct the late broken Tesla to order thanks to his robot narrative, make SpaceX public, just sued OpenAI and Microsoft for $ 134 billion and is criticized for the bare photos of his AI Grok.

O’Leary, who claims not to be active in social media, is improbable to be afraid about the dispute. If Musk continues to supply speculation about the takeover, the price of Ryanair’s shares could possibly increase. This would mean a crucial increase in O’Leary’s assets, which late held about 4 percent of the airline’s shareholding.
