Elon Musk is once again getting into fights with celebs and this time, the pop superstar in his crosshairs is Billie Eilish.
This week, the world’s richest man fired back at the 23‑year‑old singer after she called him a “fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward” over his growing net worth.
In case you missed it, Musk, now 54, is reportedly on track to become the world’s first trillionaire thanks to a new Tesla pay plan. That news didn’t exactly sit well with Eilish, who’s been increasingly vocal about hoarded wealth and climate inaction.
Eilish shared a post from activist group My Voice, My Choice breaking down how Musk’s obscene wealth could actually, you know, help people.
The post suggested that spending $40 billion annually could end world hunger by 2030, while another $2 billion could save all critically endangered species. Small change, really.
But alas, instead of clocking in, Musk wrote on X: “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”, in response to Eilish’s criticism.
This isn’t the first time Eilish has called out the billionaire class. At the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards last month she made her feelings known with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the audience.
“If you have money, it’d be great to use it for good — maybe give some to people who need it,” she told the crowd, before adding, “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”
To her credit, she’s putting her own cash where her mouth is, donating $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to climate charities. Meanwhile, Musk’s philanthropy largely runs through his own Musk Foundation, which often channels funds back into his own pet projects.
Neither Eilish nor Musk has commented further, but the internet has, predictably, chosen sides. Team Billionaire versus Team Maybe Don’t Hoard Enough Money to End Hunger Twice Over.
At least Eilish’s point stands: if you can afford to end a global crisis between lunch and dinner, maybe call off the insults and start cutting cheques.
