LeBron James has been vocal on social injustice issues since his days with the Miami Heat from 2010-14. 

From Trayvon Martin to police brutality to former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, James always spoke his mind. He has continued during his post-game Miami stops with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers. 

On Saturday, James took to the Twitter to express his thoughts on Elon Musk taking over the social-media outlet. There is speculation Musk will make the platform more free-speech friendly. James insinuated it could lead to hate-speech being deemed acceptable. 

"I dont know Elon Musk and, tbh, I could care less who owns twitter," James wroter. "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."

Former President Donald Trump was among those support the Musk takeover. On his platform, Truth Social, Trump said "Twitter is now in sane hands. 

James and Trump has been at odds for the past several years, arguing over a variety of topics involving race.
