The musician Billie Eilish has publicly challenged Elon Musk to direct his fortune toward solving global crises. In a social media post, she strongly criticized the business magnate while sharing a list of humanitarian initiatives his wealth could support.
The proposals outlined in her post suggested that 40 billion dollars annually could end world hunger, while 140 billion dollars over seven years could provide universal access to clean water. Other potential uses for the funds included rebuilding Gaza and the West Bank, aiding reconstruction in Ukraine and Syria, and allocating one to two billion dollars per year to save thousands of critically endangered species.
Eilish's comments followed a shareholder vote approving a compensation package for Musk that could eventually make him the world's first trillionaire. His current net worth is estimated at approximately 473 billion dollars.
