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.

An official social media account for Sesame Street character Elmo was hacked this weekend, with the hacker making a series of explicit and violent posts through the profile belonging to the beloved children's show character.

“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.
