Billie Eilish Calls Elon Musk 'Pathetic' in Instagram Tirade Over Wealth

Her posts spotlight a conditional Tesla pay plan that could make him a trillionaire only if steep targets are met.

Overview

  • Eilish reshared My Voice, My Choice graphics asserting Musk’s fortune could cover efforts such as $40 billion a year to end hunger and $53.2 billion to help rebuild Gaza.
  • She capped the posts with an expletive-laden insult and accused the tech mogul of hoarding wealth; Musk has not responded publicly.
  • Reports clarify the graphics’ “trillionaire” claim, noting Musk is not there now and that Forbes estimates his net worth at roughly $465 billion.
  • Tesla shareholders approved a pay package that could be worth up to $1 trillion in stock only if the company achieves aggressive milestones on market value, vehicle sales, and new services.
  • The broadside follows Eilish’s WSJ Innovator Awards remarks urging billionaires to give more and her pledge of $11.5 million from her tour to climate and food-equity causes.
