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.

Elmo’s verified X (Twitter) account was hacked Monday, leading to a wave of antisemitic, racist and conspiracy-laced posts. Sesame Workshop has secured the account and condemned the content.

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.

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.
