Elon Musk has called Billie Eilish not the ‘sharpest tool in the shed’ after she shared a post about what he could do with his wealth.
Eilish, 23, shared a post on her social media on November 13 from My Voice My Choice, highlighting what Musk, 54, could achieve with his wealth.
The post included things like: ending world hunger, curing disease, rebuilding Gaza, and saving endangered species.
She then concluded the post with a message: ‘F***ing pathetic p***y b**** coward’.
Five days after her story was shared on X, the Tesla responded, questioning the star’s intelligence.
Last night, Musk replied to the tweet recapping Eilish’s Instagram Stories, writing: ‘She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.’
Only a few weeks ago, at the WSJ Innovator Awards, Eilish spoke out about wealth distribution and urged billionaires to give their money away.
‘We’re in a time right now when the world is really, really bad and really dark,’ Eilish said in late October.
‘People need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country. I’d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it.
‘Love you all, but there’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away.’
Eilish’s net worth is estimated to be around $50million (£38m), while Musk’s is thought to be $467.9billion (£370.9b).
In October this year, Musk became the world’s first half-trillionaire as the Forbes billionaires index reported his net worth briefly reached $500.1b.
This has mainly been to the increase in share value of his businesses, including Tesla, the artificial intelligence start-up xAI, and rocket company SpaceX.
