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.

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

“Elmo’s X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages ... a string of hate speech incidents since the billionaire bought then-Twitter in 2022 and axed moderation policies that he considers censorship.

Elmo's mission of kindness and wholesomeness is back in full swing, days after an alleged hack led puppet's X page to post racist remarks and claims about Jeffrey Epstein.

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