Elon Musk Turns X into EVM for Billion-Dollar Deals: Ryanair Poll Sparks Debate

• Elon Musk conducted a poll on X asking followers if he should buy low-cost Irish airline Ryanair and reinstate its late founder Tony Ryan.
• Over 700,000 people voted, with approximately 77% in favor of the acquisition.
• The poll followed a public debate between Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary, who refused to install Starlink internet service on his airline.
• Musk has a history of using X (formerly Twitter) polls to guide major decisions, including the Twitter acquisition, selling Tesla shares, stepping down as X CEO, and reinstating Donald Trump's account.
• Despite a previous poll supporting the formation of an 'America Party', Musk did not pursue it, later reconciling with Donald Trump.

Why It Matters: Elon Musk frequently uses X polls to gauge public opinion before making significant business and leadership decisions.
