The official X (formerly Twitter) of the beloved character of Sesame Street Elmo has been hacked and published a number of disturbing news, including racist and anti -Semitic threats, as well as profane references to the convicted Sex Jeffrey Epstein.
SESAM WORKSHOP, the non -profit organization for Sesame Street, confirmed that the account was endangered on Monday and said it was trying to regain full control.
“The Elmo X account was threatened by an unknown hacker who published disgusting news, including anti -Semitic and racist posts. We are trying to restore full control over the account,” the spokesman said.
More about Elmo
The ELMO account, followed by more than 650,000 users, usually shares uplifting content, often related to mental health and comfort.
Last year he asked a simple post from the character: “Elmo is just signing up! How do everyone are?” He went viral and got answers from characters like US President Joe Biden and Chance The Rapper.
Unlike this, hacked news included not only hateful speeches, but also the demand for the US government to publish more information about Epstein and refer to long -term conspiracy theories surrounding his death in custody.
Although the offensive contributions were deleted shortly after publication, the account still refers to a telegram channel associated with a hacker who has claimed responsibility.
From Monday, X – Platform owned by Elon Musk – has not issued any public comment on the incident.
