See the company he holds a fuckload of shares in bought out?
I’d say he’d tip away into retirement happy enough?

The environmental cost of cheap flights is too high.
You or i would but a cunt like him with an ego the size of Texas not so much.
The 2% increased drag for wifi will be the final straw
The seat he’d negotiate on the board would probably keep him entertained for a few weeks.
This is tremendous PR from O’Leary and his underpaid and over worked Social Media minions
To secure the potential €100 million+ share option bonus package (approximately €111.2 million), Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary must satisfy two main conditions, one of which has already been met:
- Share Price Target (Met): Ryanair’s share price had to close above €21 for 28 consecutive days. This condition was met in late May 2025, with shares staying above this level through at least May 29, 2025.
- Employment Duration (Pending): O’Leary must remain employed by Ryanair as Chief Executive until the end of July 2028.
A very costly spat for MOL if Musk was to buy Ryanair and fire MOL before end of July 2028 !!!
O’Leary owns around 4% of Ryanair I believe. If Musk were to try buy it then I’d assume O’Learys pay day would dwarf his 100m bonus
Rebrand to Aryanair
or Trans-Atlantic Airways
EU rules require majority EU ownership.

MOL must have no skeletons in the closet at all to say he is happy to poke the bear like that
Its an interesting one. Pure workaholic who has lived a chunk of his life courting public attention to benefit his business. You’d imagine if he has skeletons they’d have come out by now. Ryanair is known as an awful place to work but rarely you’d hear anything bad about him beyond being an asshole demanding more from people or calling his staff lazy.
Didn’t know that, but I assume thats why Ryanair are mocking him for not understanding airline ownership rules
I said I’d copy this one off the RTE website before it disappears.
AS they so often do.

Ryanair CEO addresses his recent spat with Elon Musk in new press conference:
"The Starlink people believe that 90% of our passengers would happily pay for wifi access. Our experience is tells us less than 10% would pay; He (Elon) called me a rtarted twat. He would have to join the back of a very very queue of people that already think I’m a rtarded twat, including my four teenage children. But we do want to thank him for the wonderful boost in publicly. Our bookings are up 2-3% in the last few days. So thank you to Mr. Musk, but he’s wrong on the fuel drag. Non European citizens cannot own a majority of European airlines, but if he wants to invest in Ryanair we think it would be a very good investment“
Veracity of quote questionable as has litany of grammar and spelling errors…
You want some?
I do yeah but you’ll have to
join the back of a very very queue of people
