Mark Zuckerberg Is Reportedly Panini Pressed Over Billie Eilish' Comments

[RAMROD 111,329]

He wasn’t happier than ever.

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly refused to clap after Billie Eilish called out the billionaire class during her speech at the Wall Street Journal Magazine Innovator Awards on Wednesday night.

“We’re in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country,” the “Bad Guy” singer, 23, said while accepting the Music Innovator Award.

“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me,” the “Birds of a Feather” hitmaker continued.

“If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” she concluded her speech. “No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”

While Eilish’s final remarks were said to be met with laughter and applause from the audience, not everyone at the event was impressed by the Grammy winner’s comments.

Zuckerberg, however, reportedly did not clap for the “Lovely” singer, an attendee told People.

The 41-year-old Facebook founder, meanwhile, is currently the third richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $257 billion, per Forbes. He was in attendance at the awards to support his wife, Priscilla Chan, as she was recognized as a 2025 WSJ Magazine Innovator.

Besides Eilish, Zuckerberg and Chan, the night also featured billionaires George Lucas and Tory Burch, and fellow stars such as Chris Rock, Hailey Bieber, Ben Stiller, and Karlie Kloss.

boo hoo

What a piece of **** you must be to refuse to applaud a 23 years old girl who is trying to make the world a better place

[BadKid58 146]

How could he not clap for such a "Lovely" singer?! 

[LOVEDRUG 10,919]

The only reason this nasty tech-bro billionaire class acts like this is because they know they have something to be ashamed of.

You can absolutely see the difference between how some billionaires, like Rihanna and George Lucas, act, and how others like Zuckerberg, Musk and Bezos act. They know they've got their grubby hands wrapped around the levers of power and somehow think they're entitled to respect simply for having so much money.

When modern life runs on online social connection (and expected socially) its harder said and done to just delete social media accounts

 

I dont approve of how corporate farmers run a lot of their business either but i still gotta eat

 

Extreme example not quite on the same level i know, but just trying to make the point in principal
