The online brawl between Elon Musk and Ryanair Holdings Plc continues, with Musk again floating the idea of buying the airline after clashing with its chief executive officer Michael O'Leary. Siddharth Philip reports on Bloomberg Television.

Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary are engaged in a public dispute, with Musk suggesting on social media that he might consider buying Ryanair. However, European regulations would make such a purchase difficult for a non-European entity. The debate also touches on Ryanair's low-cost business model, with O'Leary asserting that customers do not expect amenities like Wi-Fi, a point that has been contested by commentators. Ryanair is known for minimal services and additional fees, as well as flying to less competitive airports.

Elon Musk, Ryanair spat enters 'should I buy it?' phase

So the other thing that's happening said in your world is this spat this argument this brawl that keeps happening between Elon Musk and the Ryan Air CEO Michael Leary. What is happening there in Musk. You know posting should I should I buy Ryan Air. How much would it cost to buy you. Or is any of that. Should we take it seriously. Might Musk try to buy a low budget European airline. I mean it's anyone's guess at the moment. But I mean it wouldn't be easy for Musk especially as European rules don't allow control of an airline by a non-European entity. At the same time I mean Elon Musk is opinionated and Michael Leary is also famously opinionated. And he's sort of got an opinion about most things in aviation and otherwise. And so this is an interesting battle especially at a time when Ryan is sort of doubling down on their low cost business sort of focusing on the fact that low cost. Michael Leary said that low cost carriers that customers don't expect free Wi-Fi on planes or Wi-Fi on planes. And so that's going to be an interesting situation. And it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. He's wrong about that. You know I mean I don't know about. You but when I'm flying on a plane these days I expect them to have Wi-Fi on Ryan Air even. I feel like I can't even I can't even recline my seat. I don't expect why. I'm going to say Matt's not the customer for. And I mean that they talk about how that tickets are cheaper than pizzas. And so Ryan is sort of famously known for charging for every single item. I don't know if that's true. I feel like. Well I mean it's been a while since I've traveled Ryan Air but like maybe three years ago was it was not cheaper than a pizza. True. I mean they also tend to fly to airports where no other competition exists. And sometimes the airports are not quite where they are.
