Elon Musk claims he wants to buy Ryanair amid feud with CEO

Elon Musk has escalated his feud with Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary by suggesting he could buy the budget airline, following a heated exchange over the installation of Starlink internet on Ryanair flights. The dispute began when O'Leary dismissed the idea of in-flight Wi-Fi, citing increased fuel costs and low passenger demand, prompting Musk to call for the CEO's dismissal in a series of online posts. Musk later polled his social media followers on whether he should purchase Ryanair, with a majority supporting the idea. O'Leary responded by calling Musk an 'idiot' and reiterated that Ryanair passengers are unlikely to pay extra for Wi-Fi on short flights. The spat highlights the contrasting approaches of the two outspoken leaders and draws attention to the broader debate over the future of in-flight connectivity.
