Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has made an interesting proposal to end the ongoing “billionaires’ war” with Elon Musk. O’Leary has challenged Musk to an arm wrestling match to end the tension between Starlink and Ryanair.
Elchi.az reports that the war of words between the two businessmen began when O’Leary refused to install Starlink internet service on the Boeing 737 fleet due to engineering complexity and aerodynamic resistance.
In the last few days, the two have insulted each other by calling each other “stupid”, and Musk has hinted that he could buy Ryanair. O’Leary responded by saying that “Musk knows less about airline ownership rules than he knows about aircraft aerodynamics.”
“The best way to entertain the world”
Calling the proposed arm wrestling idea “fantastic” in an interview with The Independent, O’Leary said about the issue:
“I think we should challenge Musk to an arm wrestling match. Let’s solve it like two fools: two old men arm wrestling or something like a boxing match. This may be the best way to entertain the world.”
A similar event was held in 1992 by Southwest Airlines founder Herb Kelleher to resolve a slogan dispute.
