the owner of the original account said: “I clearly stated ‘reportedly’ because it was the latest information coming from credible Hollywood sources. And yes, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Mr Musk. He has my loyalty for LIFE, and I don’t say that lightly.”
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.
I feel ‘dick rider’ is appropriate
That's a good one.
Updates Millennial vocabulary...

And yes, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Mr Musk. He has my loyalty for LIFE, and I don’t say that lightly.”
Ok fucking what? Did this dude implant Neuralinks in half the US population without anyone's knowledge?
What an insane fucking thing to say.
I don’t say that lightly.
I love it when randos say shit like this. I don't know you. Nobody knows you. Your judgement carries no weight.
If every accusation is an admission of guilt and the weirdos kept accusing Gates of implementing microchips in the vaccines then...
Oh God 😐
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.
Even if true, how fucked up in the head do you have to be to make death threats for an actor to play a role in a movie that is pure fiction.
Don't like it, DON'T WATCH IT!
Fucking neck-beards paladin' the dumbest things for "canon".
This sort of thing is frighteningly common. The first two instances that come to mind for me are both Star Wars films: Ahmed Best after The Phantom Menace and Kelly Marie Tran after The Last Jedi.
Not to detract from your point but did you substitute "paladin" for "champion"?
It also has an apostrophe at the end like it's slang for "palading". And I don't understand either move.
peddlin', probably. Autocorrect is that 'friend' that acts all sweet until your back is turned.
They want a movie reboot but with the same actors?
Kinda want her to get the role now just so these assholes don't see Depp or somebody else in the new movie and think that they had a hand in saving Hollywood from the evil forces of woke. Satisfaction is not permitted.
And give full credit to musk and his sad little fanboy. "Thank you for this idea, we would never have considered her, but now we're all in!"
Actually changing Jack Sparrow to a female would be an amazing change. Why? Because it's different.
Imagine a drunk, female Jane Sparrow sailing around having grand adventures. Throw in some cute but sexy outfits. Sign me up.
Regular reboot with some guy? Probably skipping it because it doesn't excite me. It's just a reboot.
The franchise isn’t called Jack Sparrow. It’s called Pirates of the Caribbean, based off a theme park ride which, as far as I know, has no named characters. The main character could be any pirate.
But maybe make her name less derivative… like Judy Pigeon or something… ;)
The theme park ride always had Jack Sparrow as the only named character, even before the movies.
I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.
Well, TIL!
I was 8 when I was on it and don’t remember that
Maybe the first movie but nearly every subsequent one is basically the jack sparrow show.
Wasn't that Penelope Cruz's character, more or less?
The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being 'tainted' by a raceswap, or being 'woke' in some way is off the scales.
There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There's an entire caustic critic industry over it. It's honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.
I suspect many of those same people do not have healthy relationships with women and are quite rude to their mothers.
It’s because they buy in to shit like The Great Replacement Theory.
As opposed to sane death threats against her?
She's a successful black actress, they unfortunately come with the territory. I imagine they hit differently when they're coming from actual Nazis though
(This was meant to be a joke but it kinda just made me sad as I was typing it)
Pretty sure Depp has said he's not willing to take on the role again. Obviously Disney would have to cast someone else.
Sending them death threats is insane. Grow up people...
