Elon Musk Accuses Billie Eilish of Hypocrisy Over ‘Stolen Land’ Statement

Elon Musk has publicly labeled pop singer Billie Eilish a “hypocrite” following her critique of U.S. immigration enforcement during her Grammy Award acceptance speech.

Eilish, 24, denounced Immigration and Customs Enforcement and broader U.S. border policies while accepting the Song of the Year award. She stated: “No one is illegal on stolen land,” urging continued protest and activism before concluding with: “And f ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say, sorry.”

Musk responded shortly after on his social media platform X by declaring: “She’s such a hypocrite!” He also shared a post from the founding editor of Reality’s Last Stand criticizing Eilish’s remarks. The post argued: “You cannot simultaneously believe that (1) all borders are fake and should not be policed, and (2) that land can be ‘stolen.’ This is one of the most braindead beliefs a person can hold.”

Musk further aligned himself with comments from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who suggested Eilish’s stance on land ownership conflicted with her own wealth. DeSantis wrote: “Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again? Maybe she should step up and forfeit her southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land.'” Musk replied to that post with a single word: “Exactly.”

The latest exchange follows a prior confrontation between Musk and Eilish from last November. At that time, Eilish posted Instagram Stories criticizing Musk’s wealth accumulation and accusing him of neglecting global humanitarian and environmental crises. She called him a “fing pathetic py bh coward,” prompting Musk to respond: “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”

Eilish has also faced criticism from the Department of Homeland Security over her statements about ICE. In January, she amplified Instagram Stories calling for criminal charges against an ICE officer identified as Jonathan Ross and accusing the agency of systemic abuse. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin defended the agency in a statement to Billboard, asserting Eilish’s posts were inconsistent with video footage released by the department. “Clearly, Billie Eilish has not seen the newly released footage, which corroborates what DHS has stated all along — that this individual was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement,” McLaughlin said.
