Billie Eilish<\/a> took another dig at Elon Musk<\/a> in a sharp Instagram Story that reignited her criticism of the ultra-rich. The singer shared a graphic from My Voice, My Choice – an activist group that broke down how Musk\u2019s staggering fortune could be used to tackle some of the world\u2019s biggest crises. Their claims were blunt: $40 billion a year could end world hunger by 2030, and $1\u20132 billion annually could protect every one of the 10,443 critically endangered species.<\/p>\n

Eilish echoed the sentiment but stripped away the polite parts. She called Musk a \u201cf*** pathetic p**** b coward\u201d for keeping his wealth locked away, The Independent<\/a> reported. The story disappeared after 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Billie Eilish\u2019s criticism has been building for weeks<\/p>\n

This was not out of nowhere. The Independent stated that Eilish took a similar swing at billionaires at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards last month. Standing in a room filled with industry heavyweights, she said, \u201cWe\u2019re in a time right now where the world feels really dark and people need empathy and help more than ever – especially in our country. If you have money, it\u2019d be great to use it for good – maybe give some to people who need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She followed it with a jab wrapped in sarcasm: \u201cI love you all, but there are a few people here with a lot more money than me. If you\u2019re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.\u201d The line drew laughs, and a few raised eyebrows, especially since Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> was in the room.<\/p>\n

Eilish also revealed that she planned to donate $11.5 million from her global Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to charities focused on climate issues and hunger relief.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk\u2019s pay package puts him on trillionaire track<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s wealth jumped back into the spotlight last week after Tesla shareholders approved a trillion-dollar<\/a> compensation plan. Seventy-five per cent of shareholers backed the deal, and the move kept Musk from walking away – which he threatened to do if the package did not go through.<\/p>\n

He currently sits at the top of the world\u2019s richest list, a position he first claimed in 2021 after overtaking Jeff Bezos. He has been bumped off a few times, most recently by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, but the new approval puts him on a path no one else has reached.<\/p>\n
