(NewsNation) — Billionaire Elon Musk has fired back at Billie Eilish after she called him a coward in an expletive-filled post about his wealth.

Musk responded to a fan page dedicated to the Grammy winner, who posted screenshots of Eilish’s Instagram posts slamming Musk.

“She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed,” the Tesla CEO posted on his social media platform X.

Billie Eilish: Elon Musk can end world hunger

Last week, Eilish called Musk a  “f—— pathetic p—- b—— coward” for not giving away his billions of dollars to end world hunger and to help other people.

The Grammy winner shared posts from the European feminist organization My Voice, My Choice, showing how Musk could give away his money.

In addition to ending world hunger, the pictures say he can save endangered species and rebuild Gaza.

Tesla shareholders voted earlier this month to award Musk a massive $1 trillion pay package if he hits certain performance benchmarks over the next decade.

The Oscar winner was on hand at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in October to accept the music award. She addressed the wealthier people in attendance, urging them to do more to combat global issues.

“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,” Eilish said.
