Ayo Edebiri Got Death Threats Because of Elon Musk

Elon Musk already has a lot of enemies — did he really need the country of Ireland coming after him too? Princess of Ireland Ayo Edebiri has posted that she received death threats in 2024 after Musk quoted a false news story claiming Disney was considering Edebiri to replace Johnny Depp in an upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean movie. “Just remembering when I got some of the most insane death threats and racial slurs of my life (idk if it’s the #1 moment, but for sure top 3) for a fake reboot of a movie I had never even heard of because of this man,” Edebiri wrote over a screenshot of Musk’s post from February 7, 2024. “LMAO. So not only is he double s**g h**l-ing fascist, he’s an idiot but anyway.” Musk’s quote-tweet read, “Disney sucks.” Edebiri’s post follows claims by Musk that he’s getting a lot of “flak,” including death threats, since speaking at Donald Trump’s first Cabinet meeting on February 26.

Earlier, Edebiri posted a screenshot of Bill Burr’s comments about Musk on NPR’s “Fresh Air.” “I’m trying to get regular people to stop yelling at each other and realize that it’s a select few group of nerds eating raw almonds and doing their stupid workouts and competing with each other to have the biggest infinity pool and the rest of us are getting pushed down,” Burr says in the screenshot. “They’ve politicized the whole stupid thing and we’re falling for it.” Edebiri then posted a screenshot of a friend telling her she would “eat” a Pirates update “up a lil bit,” which is true. Finally, Edebiri requested that news outlets “stop making my IG stories news” because “I’m just tryna have a silly goofy time.”
