Billie Eilish calls Elon Musk 'pathetic coward' as Tesla boss set to become world’s first trillionaire

Billie Eilish has raged at “pathetic coward” Elon Musk as he is set to become a trillionaire.
The Birds of a Feather singer took to her Instagram Stories to take aim at the maverick businessman, calling him a “f*****g pathetic pussy bitch coward” in the wake of Tesla shareholders approving a pay packet that could take his worth into the trillions.
Billie’s public attack came after she re-shared an Instagram carousel posted by the My Voice, My Choice movement, which started with an image of the entrepreneur and text that read: “Elon Musk became the world’s first billionaire, here’s what he could do with it.”

It isn’t the first time that the Bad Guy hitmaker has hit out at those with vast wealth. In October, she urged billionaires to donate their riches to the needy.

“I’d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, and maybe give it to some people that need it.”
Eilish added: “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!”
