Elmo, hacked and X account
Digest more
The X account for Elmo from “Sesame Street” spewed some unsavory comments after getting hacked on Sunday. The posts included a series of antisemitic and racist slurs as well as commentary about President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
“Kill all Jews,” the Elmo account tweeted as part of a spree focused on “the Epstein files,” the documents purportedly kept by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that have reemerged as a major political issue six months into the second Trump administration.
The profane slew of posts shared Sunday evening featured the Sesame Street star’s account going on a bizarre series of rants.
Jon Stewart hosted Elmo on tonight’s show, which was initially supposed to be about the tariffs. Remember those? Trump added a 17% tax to Mexican tomatoes today. But instead, Stewart did an extended riff about Elmo getting radicalized by the manosphere because he is a victim of the Male Loneliness Epidemic. The truth does, in fact, hurt.
