Ayo Edebiri shares her side of story after Elon Musk death threats claim

Ayo Edebiri has clarified that her recent post about Elon Musk was not intended to stir up controversy. 

The Emmy-winning actress took to her Instagram Story, writing, "Stop making my Ig stories news. I'm just tryna have a silly goofy time."

This came after Edebiri shared a post claiming that she received "insane death threats and racial slurs" due to Musk's reaction to a fake report about her replacing Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Edebiri re-shared the fake report from February 2024, which Musk responded to with "Disney sucks." 

She then wrote, "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 also referenced Musk's controversial hand gestures, calling him "double Sieg Heil-ing fascist" and an "idiot."

When her post started making headlines, Edebiri clarified that she was just having a "silly goofy time" with the Musk post.

For work front, the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise remains uncertain, with multiple ideas swirling, including a potential reboot with an all-new cast.
