Billie Eilish Denounces Elon Musk in Profanity-Laced Instagram Posts

The posts followed news of a shareholder-approved Tesla pay plan that could eventually reach a trillion dollars, with Forbes estimating his current net worth at about $465 billion.

Overview

  • Eilish reposted graphics from advocacy group MyVoiceMyChoice outlining ways Musk’s wealth could fund goals such as ending hunger, rebuilding Gaza, protecting endangered species and providing clean water.
  • She capped the series by calling Musk a “f***ing pathetic p***y b**** coward,” in one of her most direct public rebukes of the Tesla and SpaceX chief.
  • One shared image incorrectly labeled Musk a trillionaire; outlets noted he is not, and Forbes pegs his wealth at roughly $465 billion.
  • Coverage ties her posts to last week’s shareholder approval of a conditional Tesla compensation package that could make Musk a trillionaire only if ambitious long-term targets are met.
  • Musk had not responded publicly, and reports also recalled Eilish’s Oct. 29 remarks urging billionaires to give away wealth and her $11.5 million in tour proceeds directed to her Changemaker program.
