Musk asks X followers if he should buy Ryanair
RTE.ie1 day
Musk buying Ryanair makes strategic sense given the airline's massive profitability, operational efficiency, and dominant European market position. The purchase would cost only 5% of his net worth while delivering $4 billion annually, and his track record of streamlining operations could unlock even greater value.
Elon Musk knows nothing about airline ownership rules or aircraft aerodynamics, making his Ryanair threats just a Twitter diatribe. O'Leary correctly calculated that Starlink antennas would cost $250 million yearly in fuel drag, and passengers won't pay for internet anyway.
