Elon Musk Fires Back After Billie Eilish Calls Him a ‘Pathetic Coward’

Elon Musk belatedly responded after Billie Eilish called him a “pathetic pussy bitch coward” for hoarding wealth during a global crisis. Last night, Musk replied to a tweet from Nov. 13 recapping Eilish’s recent Instagram Stories, writing, “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
Eilish singled Musk out after using her acceptance speech at the WSJ Innovator Awards to call out billionaires for hoarding their wealth when “people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country.” Since the event, Musk has made an ambitious stride toward becoming the first trillionaire following an unrealistic pay package deal from Tesla.
On her Instagram Stories, Eilish reposted a series of infographics from the activist movement My Voice, My Choice that shared ways for Musk to redistribute that massively high wealth. While the tech giant hasn’t technically reached that unprecedented threshold (doing so would require Tesla to increase its market cap six times over to reach $8.5 trillion), the graphics still offer realistic options for any person with a net worth as bloated as his.
The posts noted that Musk could end world hunger within five years by putting $40 billion toward the effort each year through 2030. He could also provide safe, clean water universally for just $140 billion per year for seven years. Based on his response, he doesn’t seem inclined to do so.
During her appearance at the WSJ Innovator Awards, Eilish announced she would donate $11.5 million from the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to various organizations and charities. She gave her speech in front of multiple rich attendees, including Mark Zuckerberg, who has a net worth of more than $225 billion. “There’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me,” she said. “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?”
Eilish added, “We’re in a time right now when the world is really, really bad and really dark. People need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country. I’d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it.”
