Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Clash Over Starlink Wi-Fi and Airline Takeover Jokes

Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary engaged in a public dispute over the feasibility of installing Musk's Starlink satellite internet on Ryanair's fleet. O'Leary criticized the system's fuel cost impact, estimating up to €250 million annually, and called Musk an "idiot." Musk dismissed these claims, calling O'Leary an "utter idiot" and suggested firing him. Following a recent outage on Musk's platform X, Ryanair mocked Musk, prompting him to joke about buying the airline and appointing someone named Ryan as CEO. The exchange sparked widespread social media reactions.
