Mark Zuckerberg awkwardly reacted when Billie Eilish called for billionaires to “give [their] money away.”
The Facebook co-founder snubbed the singer by not joining in the applause during her acceptance speech at the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards, a source told People on Thursday.
“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,” Eilish said as she accepted the outlet’s Music Innovator Award.
“I’d say, if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it,” she added.
The “Birds of a Feather” hitmaker, 23, then called out several of the wealthy power players in the audience, which, along with Zuckerberg, 41, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, included billionaires Hailey Bieber, George Lucas and Tory Burch and supermodel Karlie Kloss.
“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,” she said, prompting the room — sans Zuckerberg — to give some laughs and claps.
