Elmo’s X account has been reclaimed after Sesame Workshop said it was hacked following antisemitic posts and negative comments about President Donald Trump.

The popular “Sesame Street” character has more than 650,000 followers, and some of the offensive posts were related to Jeffrey Epstein and Trump.

“Elmo’s X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts,” a Sesame Workshop spokesperson told multiple news outlets, including “The Hollywood Reporter.” “The account has since been secured.”

Due to the nature of the posts, they were not included in this post.

Elmo’s hacked account come only days after xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, apologized for its Grok AI chatbot making antisemitic statements on X.

“First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced,” the company wrote in an X post. “Our intent for @grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users. After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the @grok bot. This is independent of the underlying language model that powers @grok.”

Elmo’s social media account has lately become a place for mental health awareness. Last year, it caused a sensation when he asked: “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”
