The Sesame Workshop regained control of its Elmo account on X after a hacker posted racist and antisemitic messages. A statement by the nonprofit organization revealed that an unknown hacker compromised the account over the weekend, resulting in the posting of hurtful content, including threats against the Jewish community and references to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The tweets were later deleted. The incident marks a departure from Elmo’s usual focus on kindness and mental health awareness, which it has been promoting through its social media accounts.
