Billie Eilish ignited a firestorm on social media after unloading a blistering series of Instagram Stories aimed squarely at Elon Musk.
In her latest post, she accuses the wealthiest person in the world, who is on track to becoming a trillionaire, of hoarding wealth instead of using it to solve global crises.
The 23-year-old singer shared multiple graphics from the advocacy organization MyVoiceMyChoice.org outlining what Musk could fund with his unprecedented fortune, including ending world hunger, rebuilding Gaza, saving endangered species, and providing universal access to clean water.
One slide claimed Musk could spend $40 billion a year to end world hunger by 2030, or $140 billion to supply safe drinking water to the entire planet for seven years.
Another said he could save all 10,443 critically endangered species for roughly $1–2 billion annually.Â
A fourth suggested that $53.2 billion could rebuild Gaza and the West Bank, with an even larger investment potentially restoring parts of Ukraine and Syria.
Eilish posted each stat to her Stories, drawing attention to the enormous global impact such spending could have.
But it was her final message that detonated across social media.
On a stark black background, the Grammy winner wrote: ‘f**king pathetic p**sy bitch coward.’

Although she did not explicitly name Musk in the caption, the insult appeared immediately after the series of slides about his impending trillionaire status, leaving fans with little doubt about the intended target.
The blunt ending marks one of the most direct public criticisms Eilish has ever leveled at the controversial Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who remains a lightning rod for debates over extreme wealth, political influence, and public responsibility.
Musk has not responded publicly to the posts.
Online, Eilish’s fans and Musk critics lit up comment sections with reactions ranging from shock to applause – with many praising her for ‘saying what everyone else is afraid to say.’
Others debated the accuracy of the statistics she reposted, while some called the outburst ‘bold,’ ‘unfiltered,’ and ‘classic Billie.’
The singer, who has long used her platform to speak out on climate issues, social justice, and human rights, has not followed up with any additional explanation.
