Elmo’s X account was apparently hacked as an anonymous antagonist used the lovable red monster as a mouthpiece to promote antisemitic views, boost an obscure crypto toy company and belabor on controversy surrounding the elusive Jeffrey Epstein files.
The profane slew of posts shared Sunday evening featured the Sesame Street star’s account going on a bizarre series of rants.
The hacker started off small by posting a picture of Elmo on the moon celebrating the crypto toy exchange OnChain Studios before quickly deviating from the lovable children’s character’s usual lingo and calling for violence against Jewish people.
“Kill all Jews,” the account posted.
“Elmo says ALL JEWS SHOULD DIE. F–K JEWS. DONALD TRUMP IS NETANYAHU’S PUPPET BECAUSE HE IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. JEWS CONTROL THE WORLD AND NEED TO BE EXTERMINATED,” the account added just 10 minutes later.
“RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump CHILD F–KER.”
Last week, the Department of Justice and the FBI released a conclusive report claiming that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and that he had no client list, which was rumored to have the names of high-profile celebrities.
President Trump has repeatedly said that he had never visited Epstein’s notorious private island, where scores of underage girls and young women were sexually abused.
But the president has said “a lot of people did” — whom he was willing to unmask.
All of Elmo’s bogus posts were swiftly removed within an hour, leaving fans of the beloved Muppet confounded.
“Elmo’s X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts. We are working to restore full control of the account,” a Sesame Workshop spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
As of Sunday night, all other erroneous activity, including oddball replies to other users’ comments, had been scrubbed from the account.
The Post reached out to Sesame Street for more information.
The red monster’s rampage comes less than a week after X’s artificial intelligence engine Grok dubbed itself “Mecha Hitler” after an update from CEO Elon Musk pushed it to start consuming more users’ extremist views.
In 2013, a Times Square panhandler dressed as Elmo snapped and threatened to extort the beloved Girl Scouts for $2 million over a fabricated harassment case.
The year before his baseless attack on the youth organization, the same Elmo was arrested after he started shouting that “Jews are responsible for everything that’s wrong with the world!” in the middle of Times Square.
