Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary welcomes Elon Musk as shareholder

(MENAFN) Ryanair’s Chief Executive Michael O’Leary expressed on Wednesday that billionaire Elon Musk’s recent purchase of shares in the airline is warmly received.

Speaking at a press event in Dublin, Ireland, O’Leary said Musk is “very welcome” to invest in the European low-cost carrier, adding, "I think it'll be a very good investment for him."

Musk has hinted at the possibility of acquiring the airline and previously labeled O’Leary “insufferable” and “an idiot,” after the CEO declined an offer to implement Musk’s Starlink technology for in-flight Wi-Fi.

O’Leary joked about the criticism, noting, "I have four teenage children, so they regularly call me an idiot and insufferable chimp." He added that the exchange has had a positive side effect, causing a significant surge in visitors to Ryanair’s website over the past five days.

To further encourage Musk’s involvement, O’Leary said, "We're sending around to the Twitter offices in Dublin this morning a free flight for Mr. Musk." He concluded, "I think he should come and sample the Ryan Air service."
