Elon Musk has responded to Billie Eilish's recent criticism, calling the Grammy-winning singer 'not the sharpest tool in the shed.' The Tesla CEO's comment came on his social media platform X, in reply to a post about Eilish's earlier remarks.
Earlier this month, Eilish called Musk a 'fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward' for not donating his wealth to humanitarian causes. The outburst was triggered by an Instagram post from activist group My Voice, My Choice, which outlined how Musk could use his fortune to address global issues, such as ending world hunger by 2030 with $40 billion a year or protecting endangered species for $2 billion annually.
This is not the first time Eilish has criticised extreme wealth. At the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, she urged billionaires in attendance, including Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, to give away their money. 'If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,' she said.
Musk's diss was posted shortly before X suffered widespread outages due to issues at cybersecurity firm Cloudflare, which also affected other services like ChatGPT, Uber, and Shopify.
