Billie Eilish Calls Elon Musk a 'Pathetic Coward' in Instagram Posts Urging Billionaire Giving

Her posts point to a shareholder-approved Tesla pay plan contingent on ambitious performance milestones.

Overview

  • Eilish shared a series of Instagram Stories reposting My Voice, My Choice materials that argue portions of Musk’s fortune could be directed to urgent global needs.
  • One cited United Nations World Food Programme estimate claims roughly $40 billion per year could end world hunger by 2030.
  • Slides she amplified referenced EU and UN figures for reconstruction, saying $53.2 billion could rebuild Gaza and the West Bank and that Gaza alone may exceed $70 billion.
  • Other posts cited proposals such as $140 billion over seven years to secure global access to safe drinking water and $1–2 billion annually to protect over 10,000 endangered species.
  • Coverage links her criticism to Tesla shareholders’ October 6 approval of a massive compensation package for Musk that would pay out only if targets such as an $8.5 trillion market cap by 2035, 12 million cars per year, and one million robotaxis and humanoid robots are achieved, alongside a 7.5-year CEO tenure requirement.
