Elon Musk Calls Billie Eilish 'Not the Sharpest' After Her Posts Criticizing His Wealth

The retort followed her amplification of activist estimates tied to a Tesla pay plan portraying him as a potential future trillionaire.

Overview

  • Responding on X, Musk wrote “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed” to a post recapping Eilish’s Instagram Stories.
  • Eilish had reshared My Voice, My Choice graphics suggesting how vast private fortunes could address global needs and added an expletive-laced insult aimed at Musk.
  • Coverage links her posts to a Tesla shareholder-approved compensation plan that could award Musk roughly $1 trillion in stock if ambitious targets are met over the next decade.
  • Reports emphasize Musk is not a trillionaire and that full vesting would require Tesla to reach about an $8.5 trillion market capitalization.
  • Context notes Eilish’s recent WSJ Innovator Awards speech urging billionaire giving and her pledge to donate $11.5 million from her tour, as outlets also revisit criticism of the Musk Foundation’s giving practices.
