Pop sensation Billie Eilish has set social media ablaze after launching a scathing attack on billionaire Elon Musk through a series of blistering Instagram Stories that have since gone viral.
The Explosive Social Media Outburst
The 23-year-old Grammy winner directed her fury squarely at the world's wealthiest individual, who is reportedly on track to become the first trillionaire. Eilish accused Musk of accumulating unprecedented wealth while global crises continue to escalate unchecked.
In her social media tirade, the singer shared multiple graphics sourced from advocacy organisation MyVoiceMyChoice.org that detailed exactly how Musk's fortune could potentially transform the world. The slides presented staggering statistics about what his wealth could accomplish if directed toward humanitarian causes.
The Staggering Statistics Behind the Criticism
One particularly striking slide claimed that Musk could spend $40 billion annually to eliminate world hunger by 2030, representing just a fraction of his total wealth. Another graphic suggested that $140 billion could provide safe drinking water to the entire planet for seven years.
The environmental impact of such wealth was also highlighted, with one estimate proposing that all 10,443 critically endangered species could be saved for approximately $1-2 billion per year. The reconstruction of conflict zones featured prominently too, with one slide indicating that $53.2 billion could rebuild Gaza and the West Bank, while larger investments might restore parts of Ukraine and Syria.
The Blunt Finale That Detonated Across Platforms
While the statistics themselves generated significant discussion, it was Eilish's concluding message that truly ignited the firestorm. On a stark black background, the singer wrote: 'f**king pathetic p**sy bitch coward.'
Although she didn't explicitly name Musk in this final insult, its placement immediately following the series of slides about his impending trillionaire status left little doubt about the intended target. This marks one of the most direct public criticisms the singer has ever levelled at the controversial Tesla and SpaceX CEO.
Online reactions have been sharply divided, with Eilish's supporters and Musk critics flooding comment sections with responses ranging from shocked admiration to vigorous debate about the accuracy of the statistics she shared. Many praised her for 'saying what everyone else is afraid to say', while others described the outburst as 'bold', 'unfiltered', and 'classic Billie'.
The singer, who has consistently used her platform to advocate for climate action, social justice, and human rights, has not provided any additional explanation following her explosive posts. Meanwhile, Musk has remained conspicuously silent, offering no public response to the criticism.
