Token Narrative:This originated from a tweet sent by Ryanair: "Wi-Fi on planes." The meaning is actually self-mocking satire while also sticking to their consistent ultra-low-cost airline style
Specifically, Ryanair was replying to a trending question: "what is a propaganda you're not falling for??"
Ryanair's answer was: Wi-Fi on planes. They treat "providing Wi-Fi on airplanes" as an exaggerated piece of propaganda, believing it's unnecessary and not worth doing, so they're completely not buying into it
Ryanair is one of Europe's most budget-conscious low-cost carriers. CEO Michael O'Leary has publicly stated many times that installing Starlink (Elon Musk's satellite Wi-Fi) would increase aircraft drag, burn more fuel, costing tens of millions or even over a hundred million euros extra per year. Since their flights are mostly only about 1 hour long, passengers are unlikely to pay extra for Wi-Fi
So, immediately after, Elon Musk commented on Ryanair's tweet saying: "I really want to put a Ryan in charge of Ryan Air. It is your destiny." The specific meaning is: Ryanair's founder is named Tony Ryan, but here Musk is mainly joking with the word "Ryan." He wants to express: If I buy Ryanair, I'll put someone actually named "Ryan" in charge, not the current management.
In short, Ryanair is meme-ing + taking a hard stance: "Airplane Wi-Fi is deceptive propaganda, we're not falling for it," while subtly mocking airlines that have installed Wi-Fi and Elon Musk for selling an "unnecessary premium feel."
At the same time, Elon isn't serious about an acquisition plan; it's a sarcastic, self-deprecating, name-punning tweet. Musk is using this exaggerated way to hit back at Ryanair while continuing to promote Starlink airplane Wi-Fi. Simply put, the meaning is: "If I buy your company, I'll let 'Ryan' rule Ryanair again."
