Elon Musk’s January 2026 X posts mocking Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary over Starlink Wi-Fi and jokingly polling followers about buying the airline created a brief flurry but no follow-through, driving the 99.3% implied probability of “No.” Traders see zero SEC filings, financing signals, or serious negotiations since then, while Musk’s attention remains fixed on Tesla autonomy, xAI model releases, and Starlink expansion. European Union rules requiring majority ownership by EU nationals add a major regulatory hurdle for the U.S.-based entrepreneur, and Ryanair’s roughly $25 billion market cap clashes with his existing capital priorities. The only realistic path to a deal would require an unexpected formal bid that somehow clears ownership restrictions and diverts resources from core technology initiatives.
