💨 Abstract

On July 14, 2025, Sesame Workshop reported that Elmo's X account was hacked, leading to the posting of racist and antisemitic messages. The hacker gained access over the weekend, replacing usual positive content with harmful rhetoric. Sesame Workshop is working to regain control of the account, and the offensive tweets were promptly deleted. X did not immediately comment on the matter.
