Yeah, he's floated that one a few times.
And he's actually said he could replace Mr. O'Leary with somebody who's actually called Ryan.

So first of all, he'd have to raise some $44 billion.

Yeah, so, I mean, the strong words really started when Michael O'Leary did an interview on an Irish radio station in which he referred to Elon Musk as a very wealthy idiot.
And, you know, the response to that was Elon Musk saying that Michael O'Leary should be sacked.
Ryanair then responded by launching what it calls a big idiot seat sale featuring a caricature of Elon Musk.
