New Delhi: Elon Musk has asked his followers whether he should buy Ryanair Europes largest budget airline. Musk sought opinions on this amidst a dispute that began last week with the companys CEO Michael OLeary. The dispute stems from Musks company Starlink. Ryanair CEO Michael OLeary said he would not install Starlink internet on his airlines fleet. He cited that the antenna on the cabin roof would increase weight and drag potentially increasing fuel costs by up to 2%. Wont pay any attention to Musk: OLeary OLeary said that passengers wouldnt pay extra for an average one-hour flight. He also said he wouldnt pay any attention to Musk calling him an idiot. In response Musk called him an utter idiot and said he should be fired from the company. Musk also asked what the price of buying this airline would be. Ryanair is Europes largest budget airline Ryanair is Europes largest low-cost airline and three times larger than Dutch Lufthansa. Its market value is approximately 30 billion euros (approximately Rs 2.70 lakh crore). CEO Michael OLeary is among the top 10 shareholders. Last year the companys shares rose by 55%. Musks tried and tested formula Musks approach is similar to his pattern when he bought Twitter (now X). Back then he criticized the companys operations and the decisions of the then-CEO Parag Agrawal and later acquired it. Now in the case of Ryanair he seems to be moving in the same direction. Starlink available on several airlines Starlink is already providing internet services to several airlines including United Airlines Qatar Airways Alaska Airlines and WestJet. Its a satellite-based high-speed internet service. For low-cost carriers like Ryanair cost control is a major issue which is why OLeary refused the offer. Musks net worth Elon Musk is the worlds richest man. His net worth is over Rs 70 trillion. He owns Tesla (electric cars) SpaceX (rockets) xAI (artificial intelligence) Neuralink (brain implants) The Boring Company (tunnelling) and X (social media platform).
