Eilish Slams Musk: 'Sharpest Tool' Jibe
17 Apr
Summary
- Billie Eilish criticized Elon Musk for hoarding wealth.
- Musk responded calling Eilish 'not the sharpest tool'.
- Eilish highlighted Musk's potential to fund global solutions.
Singer Billie Eilish has publicly criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk, accusing him of hoarding wealth instead of addressing global issues. Four days after her remarks, Musk responded on social media, calling Eilish “not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
Eilish, estimated to be worth $50 million, had previously shared a series of Instagram Stories detailing how Musk's substantial fortune could theoretically fund solutions for world hunger, provide safe drinking water globally, protect endangered species, and aid in rebuilding conflict zones.
Her critique culminated in a post calling Musk a "pathetic coward." Eilish has increasingly used her platform to question extreme wealth, notably asking billionaires why they are billionaires at a recent awards event.
Despite Musk's jibe, Eilish's "Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour" has raised over $11.5 million to support charitable initiatives focused on food insecurity and the climate crisis.
