'If we can annoy him again, so much the better': Ryanair's CEO poured fuel on the fire of his beef with Elon Musk
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary and Musk have clashed over the airline choosing not to install Starlink on its planes.
Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, remains defiant in his conflict with Elon Musk over the airline's decision not to install Starlink on its planes. The two have been feuding since January, when O'Leary initially dismissed Musk's Starlink offer, stating that he wouldn't back down from the fight. O'Leary told Bloomberg TV that he has no intention of reconciling with Musk, adding that he thinks Musk is an idiot.
The CEO believes that Musk's Starlink deal, which offers free WiFi to passengers, will not generate revenue for Ryanair, and he doubts that any of its passengers would pay for the service. Despite the public dispute, Ryanair's CEO sees any additional irritation of Musk as beneficial, saying, "If we can annoy him again, so much the better."
