Billie Eilish, in a series of social media posts, slammed the world's first trillionaire, Elon Musk, calling out his extreme wealth and inequality.
In a series of Instagram Stories shared on Thursday, the 23-year-old singer called, Musk a "f---ing pathetic p---- bitch coward."
The nine-time Grammy award-winning musician posted slides from an activist group, “My Voice, My Choice”. The first slide featured a photo of the 54-year-old tech mogul. The post read: "Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire here's what he could do with it."
The following slides suggested a series of ways that Musk could help the world. One slide claimed that the Tesla founder could "end world hunger" and "choose to spend $40 billion every year to end world hunger by 2030 or provide universal safe clean water $140 billion for the planet for the next seven years."
The next slide read that Musk could "save endangered species" by paying between $1 and $2 billion annually to bring 10,433 critically endangered species down to endangered status.

The final slide stated, "At just $53.2 billion, Musk could rebuild Gaza and the occupied West Bank according to the EU. Although the UN predicts this could be upwards of $70 billion for Gaza alone. If he wanted to spread the wealth, and aid further, he could also rebuild Ukraine and Syria at a cost of $793.2 billion."
The "Birds of a Feather" singer made the statement soon after 75 per cent of Tesla shareholders approved, on October 6, a pay package that would make the SpaceX founder the world's first trillionaire.
However, Musk will not be paid automatically. The package entails a number of business goals that he needs to achieve, including boosting Tesla's market cap to $8.5 trillion by 2035, selling 12 million vehicles a year, and deploying 1 million robotaxis and 1 million humanoid robots.
According to the pay agreement, Musk also needs to hold the position of Tesla CEO for seven-and-a-half years to earn any shares from the new package. He can continue to hold the position of CEO at his other companies, including SpaceX and his artificial intelligence startup, Xai.
Interestingly, on October 29, Eilish accepted the Music Innovator Award at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards and called out billionaires in her acceptance speech. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was also present in the audience at the event.
