Billie Eilish is transcending fame and truly becoming one of the voices of her generation. As a result, the songstress has become emboldened to call out the people that she believes are squandering the opportunity to truly make a difference in the world.

In recent news, Elon Musk has become Billie Eilish’s latest target via Instagram. He is not the first billionaire targeted by the singer, either, whose belief is that if the wealthiest people across the world were earnest in doing their part, many of the world’s problems could actually be solved.

Her attack began by reposting a series of slides on her Instagram Stories originally posted by myvoicemychoiceorg. The slides claim that Elon Musk’s formidable bankroll could be put towards eradicating disease, ending the war in Gaza, ending world hunger, and saving endangered species. Instead, it is Eilish’s opinion that the tech magnate is content to use politics and other tools to drive people further apart. In her next post, she went after Elon Musk, labelling him a “f–king pathetic p—y b-tch coward.”

On November 18, Elon Musk, who is usually not one to remain silent, finally took to X to respond.

“She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”

Billie Eilish has yet to respond the Musk’s X post.

Interestingly, Musk isn't the first recipient of Billie Eilish’s ire in recent weeks. The “Birds of a Feather” singer made waves during her acceptance speech at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards when she singled out Mark Zuckerberg in front of a stunned crowd.

“We’re in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country.”

The singer went on to add,

“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”

Billie Eilish has also proved to be someone who truly practices what they preaches, which only gives further credence to her stance. In fact, it was announced during the same ceremony that $11.5 million from the singer’s Hit Me Hard and Soft tour proceeds would be put towards “organizations, projects, and voices dedicated to food equity, climate justice, reducing carbon pollution, and combating the climate crisis.”
