Ireland loves a feud, whether it’s Keane/McCarthy, now a film, or Magnier/Regan.

Now we have Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, trading threats and insults with Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary. Irish and European tourists are benefitting through Ryanair’s “idiot” seat sale.

Musk is prohibited from buying a European airline. Perhaps he’ll buy a bit of land and start breeding Angus cattle in opposition to O’Leary instead. Maybe some of Musk’s 14 children will take part in the ABP Angus Youth Challenge one of these years. Tesla might make a tractor for him.
