Summary
Ayo Edebiri said she received “insane death threats” after Elon Musk shared a false report claiming she would replace Johnny Depp in a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot.
The rumor, posted by a right-wing account with no industry ties, was never confirmed by credible sources. Musk, who commented “Disney sucks,” amplified the hoax.
Edebiri later called Musk an idiot and a fascist for promoting fascist right-wing rhetoric.
Meanwhile, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed a reboot is in development but did not confirm Depp’s involvement.
That’s fuckin’ weird bro. Fuckin’ weird. Back in my day we used to call those kind of people flunkies and bootlickers.
Today we call them simps and glazers
I feel like bootlickers has a more negative connotation to it.
Updates Millennial vocabulary…
Or it could be another of Musk’s sock puppets. Kissing his own ass is one of his favorite hobbies.
That’s the bottom line, isn’t it? Everyone deserves one’s respect, no one deserves one’s worship.
I would argue the work we’re looking for is “dignity”. Too many people disagree on what “respect” means.
