Elon Musk has shown that he won’t back down from those who accuse him of being selfish with his money.
The Tesla CEO clapped back at Billie Eilish after the nine-time Grammy winner called Musk “pathetic” and a “coward” for not spreading his wealth as he approached trillionaire status.
“She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed,” Musk commented on an X post recounting the ordeal in which Eilish shared a series of posts on her Instagram story on Nov. 13.
The posts, which were from the My Choice, My Voice Instagram, indicated what Musk could be using his money for instead such as ending world or saving endangered species.
Eilish’s comment comes a week after Musk won a landmark shareholder vote that would give the businessman a $1 trillion stock if he reaches specific performance goals over the next decade, the Associated Press reported. With a net worth of $465 billion, Musk is already the world’s richest man, according to Forbes.
Eilish had previously bashed billionaires, including the world’s sixth-richest man and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, at the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards on Oct. 29.
“If you are a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?,” the two-time Oscar winner said at the event, per Billboard. “No hate, but give your money away, shorties.”
At the same event, Eilish also announced that she’ll be donating $11.5 million raised on her “Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour” to organizations fighting environmental risks and world hunger.
