Elmo, the beloved red monster from Sesame Street, strangely found himself at the centre of an online drama on Sunday after his official X (formerly Twitter) account was hijacked and used to post a series of racist and antisemitic messages.
With more than 670,000 followers, the verified account typically shares wholesome content that reflects Elmo's childlike personality. However, early Sunday morning, it was overtaken by what the Sesame Workshop described as an 'unknown hacker,' who unleashed a string of offensive and threatening posts.
