Ayo Edebiri, star of the newly released thriller film โOpusโ is revealing the surprising way she got trolled by fanboys of Elon Musk for no apparent reason. And when we tell you why, youโll more than likely be outraged at the stupidity.

Things all started when Musk reposted a fake news report on X/Twitter of Edebiri replacing Johnny Depp in the โPirates of the Caribbeanโ franchise back in February with the caption: โDisney sucks.โ
In reminiscing about the moment, Edebiri reposted a screenshot of Muskโs post on Wednesday and revealed that that moment caused her to receive โinsane death threatsโ and โracial slurs.โ
โJust remembering when I got some of the most insane death threats and racial slurs of my life (idk if itโs 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,โ she said. โLMAO. So not only is he double Sieg Heil-ing fascist, heโs an idiot but anyway.โ
In a followup post, Edebiri reposted a screenshot of a message she received from a follower who expressed that the thought of โThe Bearโ star becoming a part of the franchise wasnโt necessarily a bad thing.
โItโs not the worst fan casting! I see the vision kinda! Youโre licherally Caribbean,โ the user wrote.
To which Edebiri hilariously responded: โWait no DEI but Iโve changed my mind maybe we could make some money idk [I donโt know] lmk [let me know].โ
While it may be far-fetched to imagine Edebiri in that franchise, the comedic star can be seen racking up Emmy awards in the FX comedy, โThe Bear.โ Sheโll also be exercising her horror chops in an all-new film entitled โOpus,โ which is slated to hit theaters on Friday.
Hopefully that film will spawn a sequel of its own that way Musk and his cronies wonโt have anything to latch onto.
