Elmo’s social media account on X was compromised by hackers Sunday. The bad actors posted antisemitic comments and demanded the release of the Epstein files. As of Monday morning, Sesame Workshop had regained control of the account.

Griffin-Accurso has been targeted by Jewish advocacy groups over her rhetoric in support of Gazan children. In April, the advocacy group StopAntisemitism labeled Griffin-Accurso its “Antisemite of the Week,” apparently for having the temerity to repeatedly suggest that children shouldn’t starve to death or have their limbs blown off.

The popular X account for the “Sesame Street" character Elmo began posting controversial messages that were quickly deleted after going viral on Sunday.
