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.

Since Elon Musk acquired X, formerly known as Twitter, he has received criticism over content moderation policies that allow hate speech. After a recent coding change for X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok reportedly used antisemitic language in its replies. It has since received an update.

Elmo's account on X was hacked over the weekend and called for the release of the releae of the Epstein Files and violence against Jews.

Sesame Workshop worked to regain full control over its Elmo account on the X platform Monday after a hacker gained access and posted a string of racist and antisemitic messages.

Horrific posts on the "Sesame Street" character's X account only remained online for a short period, but still went viral.
