Billie Eilish Slams Elon Musk for Hoarding Wealth Amid Global Crises

On November 12th, 2025, pop star Billie Eilish unleashed a blistering attack on Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest person, for failing to use his unprecedented fortune to solve global problems. In a series of Instagram Stories, Eilish shared graphics from the advocacy organization MyVoiceMyChoice.org outlining the immense impact Musk's wealth could have.

The posts claimed that Musk could spend $40 billion per year to end world hunger by 2030, or $140 billion to provide safe drinking water to the entire planet for seven years. Another slide suggested he could save all 10,443 critically endangered species for roughly $1-2 billion annually. Eilish also noted that $53.2 billion could rebuild Gaza and the West Bank, with even larger investments potentially restoring parts of Ukraine and Syria.

Concluding her scathing critique, the 23-year-old singer wrote a stark message on a black background, calling Musk a "pathetic [expletive] [expletive] coward." While she did not explicitly name him, the context left little doubt about the intended target.

Eilish's posts have sparked a firestorm on social media, with fans and Musk critics praising the young artist for "saying what everyone else is afraid to say." The singer, who has long used her platform to advocate for social and environmental causes, has not provided any further explanation for her outburst.
