Ryanair Mocks Elon Musk Again After X Outage, Announces 'Great Idiots Seat Sale'

  • Ryanair published a satirical post on X, days after a platform disruption, reigniting its public exchange with Elon Musk.
  • The airline announced a mock press conference by CEO Michael O’Leary in Dublin to address Musk's "latest behaviour on X."
  • O'Leary was quoted questioning Musk's knowledge of airline ownership rules and aircraft aerodynamics, suggesting he "needs a break."
  • Ryanair used the post to promote a "Great Idiots seat sale" with 100,000 seats at €16.99, urging users to book before Musk "gets one."
  • The exchange follows a previous spat during an X outage where Musk sarcastically threatened to acquire Ryanair after the airline offered him Wi-Fi.

Why It Matters: Ryanair continues its public taunting of Elon Musk, leveraging an X outage for a viral marketing stunt.
