The X account of the Sesame Street character Elmo was allegedly hacked on Sunday.
The beloved Sesame Street puppet’s X account posted several hate-filled messages with slurs and antisemitic comments. Other messages featured comments about President Donald Trump and the Epstein files and also called the president “Netanyahu’s puppet.”
“ALL JEWS SHOULD DIE” and “DONALD TRUMP IS NETANYAHU’S PUPPET BECAUSE HE IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES,” read sentences of the first post from Elmo’s social media account.
“RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump,” one post read.
“Kill all Jews,” another post read.
The account also posted an odd photo of the children’s character wearing what appeared to be a tinfoil hat and a spacesuit while on the moon, promoting cryptocurrency.
“Happy crypto all-time high day, everybody!” the post read.
A spokesperson for Sesame Street told Fox News Digital that Elmo’s account was “compromised” on Sunday.
“Elmo’s X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts,” the spokesperson said. “We are working to restore full control of the account.”
As news of the hacking of the Sesame Street character’s account spread, people took to social media to comment.
“I’m forever scarred … by @elmo,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted. “Words I never expected to utter.”
Matt Rooney, talk show host and state director of America First Policy Institute in New Jersey, said, “So poor Elmo got hacked and said some objectively vile anti-Semitic things earlier today. In other news, Elmo is now the frontrunner in the New York City mayor’s race.”
Joel Berry, managing editor of the satirical the Babylon Bee, said, “Looking forward to Tucker’s upcoming interview with Elmo.”

“You all laugh, but Elmo would absolutely win the Democrat nomination for mayor in NYC, Minneapolis, and Portland,” said Dustin Grage, columnist for Townhall.
Fox News reported that the offensive and insulting posts were deleted from the account and that all exchanges and interactions were removed.
