Los Angeles, California – Comedian Ayo Edeberi recently shared on social media that she was subjected to “insane death threats” after Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on a fake news story involving her allegedly replacing Johnny Depp in a new installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. The incident unfolded when Musk posted “Disney sucks” on his microblogging platform X, inadvertently legitimizing the false report and leading to a wave of negative comments directed at Edeberi from his followers.

Edeberi’s revelation of the death threats came as Musk himself disclosed receiving similar threats due to his controversial cost-cutting measures affecting American workers. This exchange of criticisms follows actor Bill Burr’s harsh comments about Musk, where he labeled the Tesla owner as a “Nazi” in response to Musk’s actions during Donald Trump’s inauguration.

During a conversation on NPR’s Fresh Air, Burr criticized the billionaire tech mogul for what he perceived as a problematic interaction, highlighting Musk’s allegedly deliberate two-time Sieg Heil gesture. The actor, known for his upcoming comedy special Drop Dead Years on Hulu, expressed his frustration with what he saw as the liberal community’s lack of assertiveness in addressing Musk’s behavior.

Burr’s scathing remarks painted Musk as a figure deserving of scrutiny, questioning the credibility of a man wielding significant influence while facing minimal opposition from detractors. The comedian’s assertion that Musk’s actions were intentional and concerning adds another layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding the tech innovator’s public image.

The heated exchange between Edeberi, Musk, and Burr underscores the complexities of celebrity interactions in the digital age, where off-hand remarks and social media posts can quickly escalate into contentious debates with far-reaching consequences. As public figures navigate the increasingly volatile landscape of online discourse, the clash of opinions and perspectives serves as a stark reminder of the power dynamics at play in shaping popular culture and public perception.
