Doja Cat Slams Elon Musk as a ‘Barrel Chested Ewok’ While Requesting Changes to X: ‘You Look Like You Eat Sand’

Doja Cat publicly appealed to Elon Musk on Wednesday, urging the X (formerly Twitter) owner to restore the platform's "audio post" feature. The Grammy-winning artist, known for chart-topping hits like "Say So" and "Kiss Me More," took to the social media site to directly address the billionaire. However, her request was immediately undermined by a sharp personal insult aimed at the tech mogul. "Hey Elon if u see this please put the audio post feature back on here," she wrote. "Thanks, u frog build looking bitch. Barrel chested ewok u look like u eat sand." This incident highlights a growing pattern where celebrities use X to voice frustrations with Musk's leadership, often mixing requests with biting commentary.

The feature in question, likely voice notes or short audio posts, appears to have been removed from X in early 2025, based on user complaints circulating online. While voice memos can still be shared through direct messages, the public audio posting option has disappeared. This isn't the first time a major artist has publicly criticized Musk on his own platform. In November 2025, Billie Eilish called him a "fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward" for not donating his vast wealth to humanitarian causes. Musk, who completed his $44 billion acquisition of X in October 2022 and quickly replaced senior leadership, has faced significant financial challenges since taking over. Monthly users dropped by roughly 15% in his first year as owner, while advertising revenue plummeted by 54%, reflecting ongoing difficulties in monetizing the platform. For context, X's workforce was slashed by about 80% after the acquisition, leading to concerns about content moderation and feature development. According to tech analyst Sarah Jenkins, "The removal of features like audio posts may seem minor, but it signals a broader struggle to maintain user engagement amid cost-cutting measures."

Musk's personal wealth, currently estimated at $659 billion by Forbes, places him among the richest individuals in history. In early May, he was ordered to pay a $1.5 million civil penalty to settle an SEC lawsuit alleging he failed to disclose his accumulation of Twitter stock before the acquisition. For a man of his financial stature, that fine represents a negligible sum, roughly equivalent to what he earns in about 20 minutes based on his net worth growth. Doja Cat's blunt critique, while unlikely to sway Musk, underscores a growing trend of celebrities using their platforms to challenge powerful tech figures. This dynamic reflects a broader cultural shift, where artists leverage their influence to hold billionaires accountable for platform decisions. The singer, whose 2020 album "Hot Pink" earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, has a history of using social media to express unfiltered opinions. Whether the audio post feature will return remains uncertain, but the exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between creators and the owners of the digital spaces they depend on for audience engagement. As one social media expert noted, "These interactions may seem trivial, but they reveal a power struggle between artistic expression and corporate control over public platforms."
