Elon Publicly Offered To Buy Ryanair And They Clapped Back In Front Of Everyone

We’ve got another classic Elon Musk spat on our hands, this time concerning Ryanair for some reason. Did he not get enough leg room on his last flight or something?

It seems that the public falling out began when the airline’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said he wouldn’t use Elon’s Starlink for onboard Wi-Fi.

Like… ok? Who cares?

Well, Elon Musk apparently, who’s ego is as fragile as his Cybertrucks and won’t take a slight from Trump, from his girlfriends, from marine divers, and certainly not from Irish airline owners.

Musk threatened to buy the airline and oh god, he’s going to rename it xAir or something lame. He did say he would put someone called Ryan in place as CEO. Hahaha, classic Elon trolling!

Unfortunately/thankfully we won’t have another Twitter situation on our hands since EU airlines have to be majority owned by European citizens. Huh. That’s actually a good rule…

But hold on, just before you get to thinking anyone in this fight actually has any conviction, O’Leary just clapped back by launching a sale dubbed, ‘The Big Idiot Seat Sale’.

Ryanair Elon advert — It’s ok though, they put idiot in quotes so they can’t be sued.

So O’Leary’s spinning this into an advert and Elon’s kicking off in the first place was probably to make headlines and ONCE AGAIN we all got played. God damnit.

And they both know exactly what they’re doing. This all started because the airline Lufthansa announced they would be using Starlink and O’Leary spoke out on Irish radio saying that, “We [would] have to put an aerial antenna on top of the aircraft. It would cost us about $200-250m a year, in other words about an extra dollar for every passenger we fly.”

“We can’t afford those costs. Passengers won’t pay for internet usage… so we’re not putting it on board.”

He then called Musk an idiot who knew zero about aerodynamics.

This is what O’Leary does, court controversy, and he’s finally found his match in Elon Musk who likely won’t drop the spat any time soon, at least not until they’ve both made a tidy profit from this altercation…
