      Ehm. I thought this was just some fake tweet. Didn’t know he got hacked. It can’t be that bad?

      Spoiler

      Background On July 13th, 2025, the official @Elmo X[1] account posted at least three tweets that were deemed controversial and antisemitic. The first reads, “Kill all Jews.” The second reads, “RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump CHILD FUCKER,” referring to the Epstein files. The third reads, “Elmo says ALL JEWS SHOULD DIE. FUCK JEWS. DONALD TRUMP IS NETANYAHU’S PUPPET BECAUSE HE IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. JEWS CONTROL THE WORLD AND NEED TO BE EXTERMINATED.”

      Oh. Oh no.

        The first reads, “Kill all Jews.”

        Hmm, I guess I could see how some might read that as controversial and potentially antisemitic.

          I guess Jewish hating Nazis/Bigots can hate pedophiles too, which I can agree with… I mean, it’s like agreeing that everyone looks good in black.

          Or Elon facilitates a hack/made it look like Elmo was hacked to deliver these tweets. You’ll never know, there is no oversight and no accountability for billionaire media empires.

        The account was compromised over the weekend and instead of the usual posts of encouragement and kindness, Elmo’s 650,000 followers were given antisemitic threats and a profane reference to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

          From what I’ve seen, it’s consistent. Afaik the worldview of that person was that there is a world wide Jewish conspiracy and that Netanjahu has influence on trump because they know the Epstein files.
          It’s awful antisemitic shit, but I don’t think there is reason to think there have been multiple hackers.

            Yeah, the conspiracy-prone side of the internet has a lot of overlap between people who believe stuff about “the Jews” and also constantly talk about elite pedo rings (e.g. Pizzagate). They’ve really latched on to the Epstein case because it’s the closest thing to a smoking gun for the latter.

            These people are very angry at the Trump administration right now, so it makes sense to assume that’s the profile of the hacker.
