Elon Musk has once again set his sights on Billie Eilish. This time Musk enlisted his own AI chatbot, Grok, to roast the singer over her criticism of capitalism.
The bizarre exchange began after Eilish promoted her latest fragrance, Eilish Intense, on X in a 27 August post. Musk jumped into the replies on 29 August to accuse the 24-year-old singer of hypocrisy, pointing to her outspoken criticism of capitalism.
Rather than making the argument himself, Musk asked Grok to do it for him.
“Grok, please roast Eilish’s hypocrisy in hating on capitalism and ‘stolen land’ while selling perfume and living in luxury on that same land”, Musk wrote.
The chatbot generated: “Billie critiques capitalism and ‘stolen land’ while launching Eilish Intense perfume and living in multi-million-dollar LA properties on that same land. The system she faults funds the luxury; the territory stays hers. Clear inconsistency.”
Apparently, however, Musk wasn’t satisfied with his AI’s work.
Musk called it “far too short” and “boring”, then instructed the chatbot to make its criticism “at least a little vulgar, longer and wittier”.
Grok obliged with: “Billie Eilish lectures on capitalism and ‘stolen land’ from her $14M LA palace on Tongva ground while hawking $88 Eilish Intense so fans can reek of her contradiction. The system she trashes funds the mansions, horses, and perfume empire. If it’s stolen, stop squatting and hand over the keys instead of cashing checks and spraying eau de b*******. Peak intense hypocrisy,” earning a simple reaction from Musk, who wrote: “That’s a little better.”
The billionaire has previously criticised the singer over her political views and comments about wealth and capitalism, while Eilish has been outspoken about issues such as economic inequality, the climate crisis, animal rights and veganism, immigration enforcement, and bodily autonomy.
In November 2025, Musk hit out at Eilish publicly on X by quoting a post she had shared calling Musk a “F****** pathetic p**** b**** coward” over an infographic discussing how some of Musk’s Tesla wealth could be used to fund global causes. He wrote: “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
