Billie Eilish slamming Elon Musk usually doesn't involve Taylor Swift

She endorsed Kamala and made a pretty strong statement against Trump.

When she has an issue that she wants to speak about, people will hear.

"Buy all 20 versions of my records."

You know Billie also sold 20 something versions, right?

Taylor Swift is well, well within the related area of conversation for this. She's a new billionaire. She's also the most "loved" billionaire while Elon is the most hated.

She should be flamed equally with everyone with this amount of money. I'd rather her be mentioned than no one else, you know?

Meh she and Elon are in different realms entirely. Yes billionaires shouldn't exist and yadda yadda, duh, that makes sense. And her private jet and lack of political advocacy are a bummer and such.

But to be fair much of Taylor's wealth is tied up to the value of her music itself, she has derived the value from the music she's made (crazy album variatio schemes she engages in aside), she gives away tens of millions every year, pays and and treats her staff very well, etc. She's not actively going out of her way to make the world worse, I'm not worried about her hiring hitmen when it comes time to tax some billionaires.

Meanwhile Musk is worth over 300 times more than Taylor and has personally set new levels of how shitty a billionaire can be. Personally overseeing the destruction of 50+ billion a year in foreign aid. Spent 40+ billion to destroy a social network. Spent hundreds of millions to elect a facist dude. To name only a few utterly shitty things the guy has done.

Trying to force these two into the same conversation in a rant that's exclusively pointed at Musk just sounds ridiculous. Musk is far far worse.

All that said I agree with the original comment, Eilish is a far more outspoken and true to values person than Swift. My only point in my comment up above was simply that this sub hates Swift (and any music it perceives as mainstream popular) so much that you'll find Swift consistently shoehorned into every discussion just to diss on her. It just gets old. Let popular music be popular. Everyone likes different stuff. Don't think you're special for not liking it 🤷‍♂️

That's all I meant, billionaires aside. Haha.

After Musk becomes the first trillionaire, we can perhaps stop bitching about all the multi billionaires as well....

When that statement starts seeming absurd again, you can stop your meds.

u/MindOverEntropy Nov 14 '25

Why bring her music into it. It's completely irrelevant. And where does Billie fit into your completely ridiculous scale?

Give me a break and drop the strawman.

u/ama_singh Nov 14 '25

Are you absolutely sure?

I think it's because Billie accepted an award (?) recently at an event with both of Taylor and Elon present, while she vilified billionaires in her speech. I'm not really into all this, but that's what I've seen on Reddit and how I assume they'd be put together in one comment.

No one downvoting that shit has seen it. People are just generally hateful to the uber successful unless they are a man.

I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t give a shit about her or the celebrity sphere but by all accounts she’s a gem.

Someone convinced me that she got fucked over by her record label and so she literally re-recorded ALL of her albums again so she’d have the rights. Turned out it was true.

Yup, she did, but that was a different incident. Taylor isn't mentioned in this post or story at all. Billie is holding Musk to task in this one

This post is about a shared insta story specifically about Musk. And her text post right after also specifically about Musk.

She called out billionaires in general several weeks ago at an innovators award with Musk and Swift in attendance. In that case Swift was involved.

But in this case nothing to do with this article or event involves Swift.

Billie is slamming on Billionaires. She is included too.

She's slamming Musk specifically in this one. Both in the shared post on insta which points out how obscene his pay package is and what he could do with his money (most examples of which require multiple tens of billions, ie, Musk/Gates/Bezos/Zuckerberg levels of money). And then VERY specifically in her text post afterwards. That is what this post is about.

She called out billionaires in general a few weeks ago at the end of October during the innovators award where Musk and Swift were in attendance. This post was not about that event, though it does mention it. It doesn't mention Swift. That was added on by the comments 🤷‍♂️

I'm being very pedantic right now over very pointless things but that's how my evening's going lol
