It seems that Elmo's world recently included publications of racist, anti -Semitic and moody social networks from Vitriolic.
The mascot perpetually of “Sesame Street” of 3 and a half years took its fans of unsuspering social networks during the weekend, since it apparently exchanged their healthy tweets in X (previously Twitter) for hate publications, including the call to violence against the Jewish community and others that use the language that requires that Jeffrey Epstein's president is the president of Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey, the president of Jeffrey, who was involved in the financial operation of the financial phrases. The publications loaded with shared obscenity on Sunday became viral, and screenshots also make rounds. Until Monday morning, publications have been eliminated from Elmo's page.
A spokesman for Sesame Workshop, the organization behind “Sesame Street” and Elmo, told The Associated Press in a statement: “Elmo's X account was compromised by an unknown hacker who published unpleasant messages that include anti -Semitic and racist messages.”
“We are working to restore total account control,” added the spokesman.
An X representative did not immediately confirm the alleged Hack or provided additional information to the Times on Monday.
In addition to problematic tweets, the alleged hacker left a mysterious link on the beloved puppet page. The link, which since then has been eliminated, redirected followers and detectives on the Internet to the telegram channel of a user. In Telegram, the user seems to take credit for hack. “Thank you Elmo”, read a telegram message shared on Sunday, the same day that the odd publications of Elmo reached the timeline.
In another telegram message, the user praises Adolf Hitler and rapper Ye (previously Kanye West), who has his own handful of controversies involving anti -Semitism and hate comments.
Dieted's tweets presented a very Dramatic change of tone in the online presence of Red Furball. Elmo, whose activity X consists mainly of photos with friends and healthy greetings, in particular broke the Internet last year with an innocuous publication: “Elmo is only registering! How are everyone?”
The Tweet, which is fixed at the top of Elmo's profile, caused some brutal honesty of a variety of followers. “Resisting the impulse to tell Elmo that I am a bit sad,” replied the “West Side Story” Rachel Zegler star.
Filming online confessions of existential fear and general anxiety, Elmo responded to fans that “he learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are going.”
He added: “He will register soon, friends! He loves you.”
Following the Viral Tweet, Sesame Workshop also offered fans and followers a guide to mental health resources on their website, remembering users in X that “Mental health is health!”
Clearly, the alleged hacker did not receive the memorandum in the long agenda of kindness and compassion of Elmo.
