Elon Musk posted a poll asking X followers whether he should buy Ryanair shares, intensifying his public feud with CEO Michael O’Leary. The social media post follows ongoing tension over Starlink satellite internet service, which Ryanair has criticized for reliability issues.

The billionaire's query comes amid broader concerns about aviation connectivity and airline operational dependencies on space-based technology. Ryanair has been vocal about Starlink's performance, raising questions about service agreements between airlines and satellite providers as remote operations expand.

Market observers note Musk's influence on retail investor behavior, with previous social media-driven stock surges following similar polls. Ryanair's market capitalization sits at approximately €12 billion, making it a substantial target for activist involvement or speculative trading.

Investors are watching for any regulatory response or formal complaint filings from Ryanair. The airline has not yet commented on Musk's latest social media post.
