While there are plenty of people out there who think Elon Musk is a 'bad guy', not all of them have an Instagram platform of 124 million followers to share it with. Even though Billie Eilish's following is dwarfed by Mr. Musk's 229.1 million followers on X, the Grammy and Oscar-winning artist isn't afraid to call the world's richest man to task.
Elon Musk has a growing list of adversaries, and while he seems to be on better terms with Donald Trump after he spectacularly claimed the POTUS was named in the Epstein files, everyone from OpenAI's Sam Altman to acclaimed author Stephen King, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg to ex-wife Grimes have all had their beef with him.
After calling out the world's billionaires in front of a stoic-looking Zuckerberg, Eilish doubled down by launching her own targeted attack on Elon Musk via Instagram. Never one to mince her words, Billie Eilish took issue with Musk's record-breaking Tesla deal, which looks set to make him the world's first trillionaire.

Sharing a graphic on her Instagram story, Eilish spelled out how the tech mogul could theoretically end world hunger by handing over $40 billion of his jaw-dropping worth every year for the next decade. He could also apparently give everyone on Earth clean water if he offered up $140 billion for seven years. If that wasn't enough, she launched a scathing attack that branded him a "f**king pathetic p**sy b***h coward."
It seems Musk isn't too happy with Eilish's jibe and has delivered his own in return. Responding to Eilish's takedown on X, Musk simply wrote: "She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed."
As you can imagine, supporters of Eilish and Musk dived in from both sides.

Backing up the "Birds of a Feather" singer, one fan said: "Notice how you ignored the message Billie was advocating and went on to attack her, she’s right."
Another launched their own Eilish-inspired tirade as they added: "Dumb f**king Squidward-looking b*tch a** manchild."
Siding with Musk, someone said: "I mean, he's not wrong. There's so many fallacies with that dumb insta post.
“As if there's a catalog to order 'end world hunger' out of. There's a helluva lot more to it than just writing a check you simple f**k. Keep writing dumb songs."
A fourth concluded: "I hate to side with the muskrat but anyone with basic knowledge of how money works knows that he doesn't actually have a trillion dollars in cash just lying around."
Some have taken issue with Eilish's initial comments about the rich because she's said to be worth around $54 million. Still, Musk's reported $467.7 billion leaves him with a fair bit of pocket change more than her.
The main thing to take away from the entire exchange is that Musk claiming Eilish isn't the 'sharpest tool in the shed' suggests he could be a Sabrina Carpenter fan. Wonders never cease to amaze us.
