Ryanair Responds to Musk with… Special Offer for 'Big Idiots'

Ryanair and Elon Musk continue their public dispute with a new move from the Irish airline. Ryanair announced a special offer for 100,000 seats at a price of €16.99 for one-way flights, which it named “Great Idiots seat sale” and dedicates to Musk. This move is a response to Musk's comments about Ryanair's refusal to install Starlink Wi-Fi on its aircraft. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has called Musk an “idiot” and questioned his knowledge of aviation rules. The dispute began when Musk suggested buying Ryanair and appointing a “Ryan” as CEO.
