Billie Eilish has unleashed an expletive-laced message targeting Elon Musk, calling the billionaire “pathetic” and a “coward” for hoarding his vast fortune, per pagesix.com.
The 23-year-old “Bad Guy” hitmaker took to Instagram Stories on Thursday to repost a series of slides suggesting how the X CEO could use his immense wealth to solve global issues, before adding her own blistering commentary.
In her subsequent post, the singer directly addressed the 54-year-old tech titan, dubbing him a “f—king pathetic p—y b—h coward.”
The slides the pop superstar reshared, originally posted by My Voice My Choice Org, speculated on Musk’s potential philanthropic impact, claiming he could possibly “end world hunger” by 2030 with a donation of “$40 billion a year,” or “save 10,443 critically endangered species” with annual donations of $1–2 billion. The organisation also hypothesised that Musk could fund the rebuilding of Gaza for $53.2 billion.
Musk, who was recently reported by Forbes to be the first person worth $500 billion, has not immediately responded to the singer’s comments.
The Tesla founder is the latest billionaire to face Eilish’s scrutiny in recent weeks.
The Grammy winner made headlines in October after putting Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on blast during her acceptance speech at the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards.
Speaking to a room filled with power players like Hailey Bieber, George Lucas, and Karlie Kloss, Eilish questioned why billionaires refuse to give away their exorbitant funds, particularly in a time of global need.
“If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,” Eilish urged the audience.
According to a source for People, while many audience members reportedly laughed and clapped at her suggestion, Zuckerberg did not.
The “Birds of a Feather” songwriter, however, is backing up her words with action. At the same ceremony, late-night host Stephen Colbert announced that Eilish donated $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour proceeds to organisations working toward food equity, climate justice and combating the climate crisis.
