Elon Musk Responds After Billie Eilish Calls Him a ‘Pathetic P***y’
The internet is ablaze after a heated exchange between music superstar Billie Eilish and tech billionaire Elon Musk, marking the latest high-profile clash between celebrities and the ultra-wealthy. The feud erupted after Eilish publicly blasted Musk over his growing fortune, accusing him of ignoring global crises despite having the resources to make a difference.
Billie Eilish’s Blistering Critique
Last Thursday, Billie Eilish took to her Instagram Story to vent her frustration with Musk, whose recent Tesla pay package has positioned him to potentially become the world’s first trillionaire. Eilish did not mince words, calling Musk a “f***ing pathetic p***y b**** coward” and challenging him to use his wealth for good.
Eilish listed a series of issues she believes Musk could address single-handedly: ending world hunger, saving critically endangered species, and rebuilding Gaza. Instead, she accused him of “hoarding his wealth” while urgent crises persist.
Her comments quickly went viral, sparking intense debate across social media platforms and drawing both praise and criticism from fans and commentators.
Elon Musk Responds on X
Musk, never one to shy away from online controversy, fired back on Wednesday night using his own social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). Reacting to a screenshot of Eilish’s IG story, Musk dismissed her remarks with a pointed jab: “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
His response, brief but cutting, added fuel to the fire, prompting a new wave of reactions and memes from both his supporters and Eilish’s fans.
Billie Eilish: Vocal Critic of Billionaires
Eilish’s criticism of Musk is not an isolated incident. Known for her outspoken views, the Grammy-winning artist has repeatedly challenged the ethics of extreme wealth. Just last month, she used her acceptance speech at the WSJ. Innovator Awards—delivered in front of an audience packed with billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg—to question the very existence of billionaires.
“I love you all but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me … and if you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” Eilish asked, highlighting her belief that such wealth should be used to address pressing social and environmental issues.
Backing up her words, Eilish recently announced she would donate $11.5 million from her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour to support food equity, climate justice, carbon reduction, and the fight against the climate crisis.
Social Media Reacts
The public response to the feud has been polarized. Supporters of Eilish praised her courage for speaking truth to power, while Musk’s fans defended his right to spend his fortune as he sees fit. The clash has reignited broader debates about wealth inequality, philanthropy, and the responsibilities of the ultra-rich.
Memes quickly emerged, with some dubbing Musk the “Bad Guy”—a nod to Eilish’s hit song—while others mocked the singer’s remarks as naïve or uninformed.
What’s Next?
As of now, Eilish has not responded to Musk’s latest jab, but given her track record, another round of public sparring seems likely. The feud underscores growing tensions between cultural icons and tech titans, reflecting a wider societal conversation about money, influence, and accountability.
Whether this online war leads to real-world change or simply more viral moments remains to be seen. One thing is certain: both Billie Eilish and Elon Musk are unafraid to speak their minds—and the world is watching.
