Elon Musk's blistering response to Billie Eilish after she called him a 'pathetic coward'

Elon Musk issued a scathing reply to Billie Eilish after she reportedly shared a series of Instagram Stories suggesting how he can use his extreme wealth for good around the globe.

The American singer, 23, reportedly didn't name the Tesla founder directly in her now-expired post, but many assumed she was referring to him, the world's richest person, when she wrote: "etc... F--king pathetic p--sy b--ch coward" in another slide.

On X, replying to some of Eilish's Stories suggesting how he can spend his money as he reaches trillionaire status, which were reshared by a fan account, Musk, 54, simply quipped: "She's not the sharpest tool in the shed."

His reply on X got thousands of likes.

In her Instagram Stories, the Ocean Eyes singer had reportedly shared slides from an account called My Voice, My Choice, which suggested Musk could use his money to "end world hunger" and "save endangered species" in part.

The first slide from the account showed a picture of the entrepreneur with the words, "Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire here's what he could do with it."

Eilish, who is known for hits including Birds of a Feather and Lunch and who has donated money to various causes, recently made headlines for a speech she made at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards last month.

Addressing the audience as she accepted an award, she told the rich to "give your money away, shorties".

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was said to be in the crowd at the time.

"We're in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than ever, especially in our country," she began.

Elon Musk's blistering response to Billie Eilish after she called him a 'pathetic coward'

"I'd say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it.

"Love you all, but there's a few people in here that 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, shorties."

She recently made headlines while performing in Miami when she was grabbed by a concertgoer while walking in front of the crowd.

About some fan behaviour at concerts, she previously told The Hollywood Reporter: "I've been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don't know why this is like new."

"People just get excited and it can be dangerous."
