Elon Musk Calls Billie Eilish 'Not the Sharpest Tool' After Her Wealth Critique

The jab followed her posts urging him to use his vast, contingent Tesla-linked wealth for humanitarian causes.

Overview

  • Musk replied on X on Nov. 18 to a post about Eilish’s criticism, writing, “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
  • On Nov. 13, Eilish shared My Voice, My Choice infographics detailing uses for extreme wealth and added an expletive-laced message calling Musk a coward.
  • The dispute centers on Tesla shareholders’ Nov. 6 approval of a pay plan that could grant Musk nearly $1 trillion in stock if demanding multi‑year milestones are met.
  • Reporting places Musk’s current net worth at roughly $470 billion, and he is not a trillionaire.
  • Eilish recently announced $11.5 million in tour proceeds for charities at the WSJ Innovator Awards, as coverage revisits critiques of the Musk Foundation’s transparency and effectiveness.
