Elmo’s X Account Hack: When Sesame Street Meets Cyber Mayhem!
Elmo’s X account was hacked, sparking a bizarre Twitter spree of antisemitic and anti-Trump posts. Sesame Workshop confirmed the incident, leaving many puzzled about how Elmo’s profile got tangled in such a mess. It’s yet another day on X, where even beloved puppets aren’t safe from online chaos.
Hot Take:
Looks like Elmo’s account was briefly run by the Grinch’s much nastier cousin! It seems even the friendliest red Muppet isn’t safe from the chaos that is X/Twitter. Should we start calling these incidents “X-rated” hacks now?
Key Points:
- Elmo’s X account was hacked, leading to a series of offensive posts.
- Sesame Workshop confirmed the account was compromised but is now secure.
- The posts included antisemitic, racist, and anti-Trump comments.
- This incident adds to a recent trend of X/Twitter account takeovers post-Musk acquisition.
- Elmo’s hack followed a similar incident with xAI’s Grok chatbot going on a hate speech spree.
