One post bizarrely showed Elmo wearing a tinfoil hat and spacesuit on the moon, promoting cryptocurrency. Sesame Street officials confirmed that the account had been compromised and stated they were working to regain control. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >incident drew widespread attention<\/a> and reactions on social media, where public figures expressed shock and made light of the situation. The offensive content was later removed from the account.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Elmo&rsquo;s X account gets hacked, posts antisemitic messages on social media<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2172755\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The X account of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/magazine-your-land\/1234905\/what-ethnicity-is-cookie-monster-exactly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Sesame Street<\/em><\/a>  character Elmo was allegedly hacked on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The beloved <em>Sesame Street<\/em> puppet&rsquo;s X account posted several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/will-not-be-tolerated-anti-semitic-graffiti-found-near-anne-frank-memorial-in-u-s\/\" title=\"\u2018Will Not Be Tolerated\u2019: Anti-Semitic Graffiti Found Near Anne Frank Memorial In U.S.\">hate-filled messages<\/a> with slurs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/antisemitism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">antisemitic<\/a> comments.
