Pop star Billie Eilish has recently taken to Instagram to deliver a scathing rebuke on Elon Musk, accusing him of hoarding money rather than helping humanity—just as he edges closer to becoming the world's first trillionaire. In a series of Instagram Stories shared on 13th November, she reposted infographics from the activist group 'My Voice, My Choice,' which laid out detailed, real-world ways Musk could deploy his immense wealth to fight global crises.
These carousel of slides illustrate the vast amount of good his money could accomplish, from eradicating world hunger and saving endangered species to rebuilding war-torn areas like Gaza and supplying safe drinking water. But after sharing them, Eilish didn't hold back. She made it apparent that she felt he had a moral duty to act by calling him a "f-ing sad p—y b—h coward." Her statement follows closely on the heels of her earlier public criticisms of billionaire culture.

Scathing Instagram Tirade: What Eilish Actually Said
In a fiery set of Instagram Stories, Billie Eilish has shared infographics from an activist group named 'My Voice, My Choice,' laying out detailed proposals for how Elon Musk could deploy his immense wealth for global philanthropy. These included allocating $40 billion annually to end world hunger by 2030, additional billions for conservation and adequate drinking water, and tens of billions for the reconstruction of devastated areas like Gaza.
Billie didn't just reposted the slides, but also added a harsh statement with it, calling out Musk as an "f-ing sad p—y b—h coward" for his apparent choice to hoard wealth rather than use it to support urgently needed humanitarian efforts. Her post comes amidst the news that Tesla shareholders have recently approved a compensation package that could, under certain performance targets, be worth up to $1 trillion, putting Musk on the path to becoming the world's first trillionaire.

Her displeasure and demand for more accountability from ultra-wealthy individuals are highlighted by the combative rhetoric and public moral challenge.
Billionaire Critique, Giving Back & Fresh Activism
Eilish's attack on Musk isn't sudden—she's been raising the issue of extreme wealth for a while. A few weeks before to her latest Instagram post, Billie made use of her acceptance speech at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards to call out billionaires directly. With Mark Zuckerberg and other ultra-rich attendees in the audience, she posed the question that, "If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?…Give your money away, shorties."

In support of her statement, Billie made a significant personal donation at the same event: $11.5 million from her 'Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour' will go to causes around food equity, climate justice, and reducing carbon pollution. Her current criticism of Musk also taps into that generosity: the 'My Voice, My Choice' carousel she reshared outlines projects that cost a fraction of his potential future wealth—yet, she argues, could have a profound impact on the world.
By calling him out so bluntly, she's staking a very public claim, that wealth should not just accumulate, rather it should serve humanity.
