Elmo’s Wholesome Feed Got Hacked And Took A Very Sinister Turn

Someone hacked “Sesame Street” character Elmo’s account on X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly named Twitter, and turned it into a hateful pit of despair.

The heartwarming messages and questions that are usually shared on the lovable, fictional character’s feed were replaced with racist, anti-Semitic and offensive bile. There were also slams of President Donald Trump over the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein controversy.

Elmo’s account was “compromised” by an “unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including anti-Semitic and racist posts,” a spokesperson for the nonprofit organization Sesame Workshop, which produces the educational children’s television show, confirmed to The Daily Beast.

The posts remained live for less than half an hour, reported Mediaite.

They have since been deleted.
