New Delhi, Jan 20 (NationPress) Elon Musk has once again captured the world's attention by taking a business conflict to social media, this time involving Ryanair, Europe’s largest budget airline.

The billionaire head of Tesla and SpaceX created a public poll on X, querying users if he should purchase Ryanair, after a fiery exchange with the airline’s outspoken CEO, Michael O’Leary.

This poll emerged following a disagreement about the potential use of Starlink for in-flight Wi-Fi on Ryanair flights.

Ryanair opted against installing Starlink, citing that the costs and operational implications do not align with its business model.

What began as a corporate disagreement swiftly turned personal, with Musk and O’Leary trading sharp remarks in interviews and on social media platforms.

Musk’s poll posed a straightforward question about whether he should acquire Ryanair, delivered in his usual lighthearted and humorous manner.

The response was overwhelming. Within hours, the poll garnered over 750,000 votes and continued to trend extensively.

At the time of this writing, around 76.8% of the voters supported the idea, although Musk has not confirmed if the poll indicates any serious acquisition intentions.

Adding to the excitement, Musk cleverly suggested that Ryanair should be managed by someone named Ryan.

In one of his posts, he expressed a desire to “restore Ryan as their rightful ruler,” concluding the message with “it is your destiny.”

These remarks were widely circulated and helped maintain the online discourse. This dispute dates back to Ryanair's public rationale for rejecting Starlink.

Intensifying the situation, O’Leary made personal jabs at Musk during an interview with Newstalk, labeling him “an idiot” and advising people to disregard him.

Musk retaliated on X by calling O’Leary “an utter idiot” and even suggested, “Fire him.”

Ryanair’s official social media account later joined the banter during a service outage, humorously asking Musk if he required Wi-Fi.
