LeBron James says Elon Musk needs to address 'scary AF' surge of N-word use on Twitter

[DigitalDrifter]

If I were Musk, I would tell the guy who can throw a ball through a hoop, that he has NO standing to make ANY demands about anything!

• Use of the N-word on Twitter surged nearly 500% after Musk's acquisition, per The Washington Post.
• Responding to an Insider article, LeBron James said Musk needs to "take this very seriously."
• In a tweet, James referred to the surge of N-word usage as "scary AF."

The NBA star LeBron James on Saturday urged new Twitter owner Elon Musk to address the "scary AF" surge in the use of the N-word on the social-media platform.

Tweeting in response to an Insider article, which cited The Washington Post's reporting on the increased use of the racist slur immediately after Musk's $44 billion acquisition, James urged Musk to "take this very seriously."

James wrote: "I dont know Elon Musk and, tbh, I could care less who owns twitter. But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF.

"So many damn unfit people saying hate speech is free speech."

LeBron needs to STFU and play tree hockey.

By the way, if in fact there is a "surge" of the use of the 'n' word, it could simply be people out there that are only trying to make Musk look bad, or make Twitter now look like a far-right website.

Obviously this is most likely snowflake would be social warriors spamming Twitter.
Obviously rampant use of the N word is only acceptable in popular music. You can't say it anywhere else.

The fallout begins, Elon will need to go back to South Africa if he wants no blacks on his format.

LeBron needs to move to China and shut the fuck up.

He is a slave labor user, and abuser.

They are to busy bringing the Village back. Soon enough they will be eating tree bark to survive.

It’s not Musk job to tell people not to use profanity

Just like on USMB it's not the Mod's place to tell us what to do since they do not own the place.

James is focused on the wrong thing
