(JEWISH GROUP) Elmo's X account hacked, shares antisemitic posts: "Disgusting messages"

Elmo's X account posted antisemitic and racist posts after it was hacked on Sunday, a spokesperson for the makers of "Sesame Street" said in a statement.

"Elmo's X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts," a spokesperson for Sesame Workshop, which is the nonprofit organization behind "Sesame Street," said on Monday.

The spokesperson said the social media account, which is verified and has more than 600,000 followers, has since been secured.

The posts contained slurs against Jews and commentary about President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who killed himself in prison in 2019 as he faced federal sex trafficking charges. The posts were removed Sunday afternoon, shortly after appearing on the platform.
