Ayo Edebiri Got ‘Death Threats’ After Elon Musk Shared Fake Report About Her Replacing Johnny Depp in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’: He’s an ‘Idiot’ and a ‘Fascist’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ayo Edebiri revealed on her Instagram story that she got “insane death threats” because of Elon Musk.

The X owner shared a fake report in February 2024 claiming Disney was considering Edebiri as a replacement for Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

Musk reacted to the report by writing: “Disney sucks.” “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 on her Instagram story while sharing Musk’s original post. “LMAO.

So not only is he double Sieg Heil-ing fascist, he’s an idiot but anyway.” In a previous Instagram story post, Edebiri shouted out Bill Burr for his roasting of Musk during a recent interview on NPR’s “Fresh Air.” The comedian said that Musk was “evidently a Nazi,” referring to the controversial hand gestures Musk made at an inauguration event for Donald Trump.
