"Ryanair chiefs rejection of Starlink wifi may return to haunt him if it works for rivals"
"Elon Musk did the impossible last week: he got everyone in Ireland rooting for Michael O'Leary."
"In the transatlantic war of words between the "idiot" and the "utter idiot", the "know-nothing" versus the "insufferable special-needs chimp", we were always likely to side with the Ryanair chief executive over the creator of Grok."
Ryanair's chief executive rejected Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi, creating a potential competitive risk if rivals deploy the service successfully. Elon Musk publicly insulted Michael O'Leary, provoking widespread sympathy for the airline chief in Ireland. The insults included terms such as "idiot," "utter idiot," "know-nothing," and "insufferable special-needs chimp." Public reaction tended to side with the Ryanair leader amid the transatlantic exchange. The dispute framed a contrast between a budget airline executive and a high-profile tech figure linked to Grok. The rejection of Starlink may prove costly if the technology improves passenger connectivity for competitors.
