- 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.
