Beloved Sesame Street character Elmo's X account was apparently hacked by an individual promoting antisemitic views, boosting an obscure cryptocurrency toy company and claiming President Donald Trump is in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Several profane posts were shared on Elmo's X account Sunday night, which initially included a photo of Elmo dressed as an astronaut on the moon celebrating the crypto toy exchange OnChain Studios having its apparent "all-time high day" before calling on people to "Kill all Jews" in a separate post.
“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 wrote in another post shared 10 minutes later.
“RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump CHILD F–KER," the account wrote in a separate post.
All of the hacked posts shared on Elmo's account were quickly deleted within an hour.
“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 confirmed to FOX News Digital.
Last week, the Department of Justice and the FBI released a report concluding that Epstein, a disgraced financier and convicted child molester, killed himself in his jail cell and had no client list, which was long rumored to have the names of high-profile celebrities, a talking point of far-right conspiracy theorists for years. Trump, who had been photographed alongside Epstein in the past, claimed that he never visited the financier's notorious private island where numerous underage girls and young women were sexually abused, but claimed "a lot of people did."
