Elon Musk Activates War Of Words With Billie Eilish Amid Billionaire Rants

Elon Musk and Billie Eilish may become the next celebrity duo to have an online feud.

The drama between the duo began brewing after the "Bad Guy" hitmaker called out the Tesla CEO for failing to make charitable donations with his massive fortune.

This isn't the first time Billie Eilish has slammed billionaires for amassing wealth rather than donating it to those in need. She previously implored the rich to use their money for good causes, sparking speculations of beef with Taylor Swift.

The billionaire businessman broke his silence about Eilish's comments on X after a fan account reposted her scathing Instagram Stories post. "She's not the sharpest tool in the shed," his November 18 response read.

Musk's response came days after Eilish reposted the My Voice, My Choice activist group's reaction to his increased chances at becoming the world's first trillionaire. The Blast covered the story, explaining that Musk's possibility of becoming the world's richest man stemmed from his new Tesla pay package.

The activist group reacted to the news with a sideshow of what the billionaire could do with his wealth. The list included ending world hunger, increasing global access to clean water, protecting endangered species, and rebuilding conflict-affected regions, Syria and Gaza.

According to the post, Musk could save millions across the world by donating his fortune. The activist group estimated that he could rebuild Gaza and Ukraine with $793.2 billion, end world hunger by donating $40 billion yearly, and provide safe water globally for the next seven years with $140 billion.

Eilish reposted these suggestions alongside a biting remark about Musk, whom she described as a "F-cking pathetic p-ssy b-tch coward." Her words implied that she did not believe the business mogul was the type to donate his massive fortune to end the crisis across the globe.

Contrary to the post, which described Musk as "the world's first trillionaire," the entrepreneur had yet to achieve the financial milestone. Instead, he was set to become the world's richest man if he could meet the conditions set in his new Tesla pay package.

According to reports, over 75% of Tesla shareholders voted to pay a compensation plan worth up to $1 trillion to Musk. The payout wasn't a one-time payment, as it required Musk to fulfil some conditions before getting compensated.

The terms reportedly included boosting Tesla's market cap up to $8.5 trillion in the next ten years, deploying 1 million robotaxis, and selling 12 million vehicles in a year. News of the compensation plan came a month after Musk made headlines for becoming the first-ever person worth half a trillion dollars.

Forbes broke the news, claiming Musk was officially worth $500 billion thanks to his numerous business ventures. An estimated $9.3 billion was added to his fortune in October when Tesla shares skyrocketed by nearly 4%, and the company began seeing massive profits ever since Musk left the White House.

Although Musk got a scathing review from Eilish, he isn't the first billionaire she has slammed for not donating to good causes. The Blast reported that she called out the wealthy during her acceptance speech at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in New York City in October.

While accepting the Music Innovator Award, Eilish noted that there were people in the room who were wealthier than she was. "And if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" she wondered, noting that there were important causes in need of donations.

Eilish declared she would lead by example by donating $11.5 million from the proceeds of her "Hit Me Hard And Soft" tour to organizations that fight climate change and for food equity. She implored others to step out, stressing that the world was going through dark times and in need of empathy.

Although Eilish directed her words at the wealthy in general, some conspiracy theorists believed she was attacking Taylor Swift. They shared speculations of a feud between the duo, claiming Eilish had attacked Swift with her words.

The speculations stemmed from Eilish's past comments about singers who cared more about money than the environment. She slammed those in this group as insensitive, noting she could not understand why they released multiple vinyl packages to make more money from fans.

Despite not naming anyone, many believed Eilish was talking about Swift, who released four versions of her "Tortured Poets Department" album. The widespread claims soon reached the Billboard chart-topper's ears, and she immediately shut it down, telling fans not to put words in her mouth.
