It seems Elmo's world recently included vitriolic racist and antisemitic social media posts. Sesame Workshop says it seeks to restore control over the beloved puppet's X page.

The X account of Sesame Street’s Elmo, a beloved children’s television character, shared antisemitic and anti-Donald Trump posts after being hacked on Sunday. A slew of messages calling for the extermination of Jewish people and labeling the United States president a “puppet” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were shared on the account.

Nothing is sacred anymore, not even 'Sesame Street.' Our beloved Elmo had his account hacked in order to spew some hateful (and confusing) nonsense.
