"Just about two weeks after calling out the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires at the recent WSJ. Innovator Awards, Billie Eilish took to Instagram to blast Elon Musk, noted world caliber Path of Exile 2 player, Tesla founder, uber-rich dude who will never leave our news feeds. After posting a series of infographics from My Voice My Choice on her Instagram story, which claimed that Musk became the world's first trillionaire and gave examples of charitable causes he could contribute to with such an extensive fortune, the pop star posted a simple statement on a blank, black background: "etc... fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward.""
"Notably, the infographic's claim seems to be a misinterpretation of the recent news regarding a new composition deal between Musk and Tesla. While it's true that Tesla shareholders approved a plan to reward Musk with shares worth almost $1 trillion if he meets certain goals, those incentives are ambitious at best and nearly impossible to achieve at worst. Such goals include milestones like growing Tesla's stock market valuation from $1.4 trillion to $8.5 trillion, selling one million humanoid robots, and reaching 10 million paid subscriptions for Tesla's self-driving software."
"Still, while Musk may not be - and may not ever be - a true trillionaire, he's still currently the world's richest person, and Eilish's sentiment of calling on the ultra wealthy to engage in more humanistic, philanthropic behavior remains consistent with her previous statements and actions. During the WSJ. Innovator Awards, it was revealed that she had raised more than $11.5 million in donations through her "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour."
Billie Eilish posted infographics claiming Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, then followed with an obscenity-laced Instagram statement directed at him. The infographic appears to misinterpret a Tesla compensation plan that could award Musk shares worth nearly $1 trillion only if highly ambitious milestones are achieved. Those milestones include raising Tesla’s valuation to $8.5 trillion, selling one million humanoid robots, and securing 10 million paid self-driving subscriptions, targets widely seen as unlikely. Musk remains the world’s richest person. Eilish has previously raised over $11.5 million in donations through her tour, and Musk has not commented.
