Elon Musk, Billie Eilish rift: Deets inside

Elon Musk and Billie Eilish are involved in verbal spat on social media which has left the internet divided.

The war of words between the tech billionaire and the Grammy-winning singer has become one of the most talked-about celebrity feuds of the year.

Most recently, Musk has responded to Eilish’s attack calling her ‘not the sharpest tool in the shed’.

But what actually happened that the two got embroiled in the ongoing controversy?

Here’s an overview of the details:

Eilish took to Instagram on November 13 to post a rapid-fire series of Instagram Stories citing statistics from advocacy group MyVoiceMyChoice.org.

She accused Musk of hoarding his wealth instead of helping solve the global crises.

The Ocean Eyes hitmaker claimed in each slide that his fortune could fix issues like hunger, provide safe drinking water globally among other things.

She ended her post with expletive words: 'f**ing pathetic p**sy b**ch coward.'

Fans flooded the comment section with their support for the singer.

'Her being in her early 20s doing more for the people than old billionaires and politicians says alot,' one social media user wrote.

'Mind you, she donated 20% of her net worth - more than Elon and Jeff Bezos ever did COMBINED,' commented another.

A netizen also wrote, 'She's doing more than billionaires.'

Other cheered: 'Louder for the people in the back.'

Musk supporters also came to his defence.

Four days later, Musk finally answered under an X (formerly Twitter) post shared by an Eilish fan account.
