The owner and the producer of the children’s show said on Sunday that a hacker shared a string of racist and antisementary posts from Elmo’s social platform ex account, which is a red monster fuzzy with “Sem Street”. In posts on a verified account with over 600,000 followers, President Donald Trump and the so-called Epasteen files were included about racial slarses, antisementic language and comments, the remaining investigative documents of sex-trafficking probes in Jeffrey Epstein. The posts were removed soon after being published on Sunday afternoon. A brief statement said, “Elmo’s X account was compromised by an unknown hacker today, which posted disgusting messages, including antisemtic and racist positions.” “We are working to restore the complete control of the account.” Elmo, always 3 1/2 year old dear Meta character on “Sesame Street”, often teaches the lesson of life of his young audience such as kindness and patience. Elmo’s account did not post any new message as midnight. X cannot be contacted immediately for comment. Social media platforms X, East Twitter, have experienced an increase in racist, antisemtic and other disgusting speech as Elon Musk took it in 2022. Last week, Artificial Intelligence Chatbot of Grocke, X posted antisementary comments, including praising Adolf Hitler. The company removed some posts and released forgiveness. Chatbot’s post reflected the “extremist ideas” of XE, Elon Musk’s Artificial Intelligence Company, who created the grooc, later said. Experts recorded an increase in antisemtic and Islamophobic events since leading the attack on Israel in 2023, which inspired the Israeli army to invade Gaza Strip. A Jewish Advocacy Group Anti-Defection League, in 2024, recorded 9,354 antisemtic incidents in the United States, which increased the highest number on records and 344% in the last five years. These included online events that were harassed by individuals or groups on social media or through direct messages, although the organization said it did not attempt to assess the total amount of online antisementism. The organization said in its report about the 2024 incidents, “Elevated antismitism has become a continuous reality for American Jewish communities.” In early June, a person threw Molotov cocktail into a Jewish group for the release of hostages in Gaza. One of the victims later died of his wounds. The prosecutors accused a person with first-degree murder and hatred crime among other crimes. Last month, two employees of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were badly shot outside a program at the capital Jewish Museum. A person was later accused of crimes, which included the first-degree murder. And in April, a person set fire to the governor’s mansion on the first night of the Passenger, which forces the village Josh Shapiro, who is Jew, to run away with his family.
