- Elmo's official X account was compromised by a hacker over the weekend, who posted antisemitic and racist content.
- The hacker's posts included branding Donald Trump as 'Netanyahu's puppet' and demanding the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files.
- Sesame Workshop, the organisation behind Sesame Street, confirmed the hack and stated they were working to restore full control of the account.

- The incident occurred amidst ongoing discussions about the Jeffrey Epstein files, with Elon Musk criticising Donald Trump and a Democratic strategist suggesting Trump orchestrated the file release.
