Elmo is a beloved character. So much so that even adults are still very open about our love for Elmo. Color all of us shocked when suddenly Elmo’s official account on X was posting antisemitic remarks, yelling about the Jeffrey Epstein files, and other non-Sesame Street appropriate tweets.
“Elmo’s X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts,” a spokesperson for Sesame Workshop, the company responsible for Sesame Street, said in a statement to CNN.
