Elmo's X account was hacked and used to post a series of antisemitic, racist, and offensive messages. Sesame Workshop confirmed the account was briefly compromised by an unknown hacker who made inflammatory posts, including hate speech against Jews and derogatory comments about Donald Trump. After the incident, the posts were removed, and the account was secured. These types of account compromises have become increasingly common on the platform, with other high-profile accounts being targeted in the past.
Elmo's X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts. The account has since been secured.
The extremely offensive posts included: 'All Jews should die. F*ck Jews. Donald Trump is Netanyahu's puppet because he is in the Epstein files. Jews control the world and need to be exterminated.'
Those posts have since been removed.
X/Twitter compromises - and hate speech - have become an increasingly regular problem on the microblogging site.
