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.
those are so funny because it's just
"what????"
"yeah I agree lol"
"what????"
deemed controversial and antisemitic
The first reads, "Kill all Jews."
Hmm, I guess I could see how some might read that as controversial and potentially antisemitic.
Well situations like this can be really ambiguous. It's not as clear cut as "from the river to the sea"
Maybe he meant Jaws, like the shark that can never be truly killed. With his soul-less eyes...black eyes...like a dolls eyesssss.....
"Kill all jaws" actually seems even worse (though less bigoted), given how many species have at least one of those..
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.
Elmo has since been taken care of.
Elmo is Elon Musk?
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.
Besmirching Elmo's good name. 😞 Awful.
Elmo would never!
You should watch Jon Stewart's monologue from yesterday.
Wow, that was some supreme both-sides shit.
Yeah, when he said "He said Free Luigi!", I was like, "...and?"
What a corporate whore.
Jon Stewart. Yeah. He helped get compensation for 9/11 and then just said I’m FINISHED like Daniel Plainview in TWBB
Monologue? He interviewed Elmo!
Elmo just gets a little heated after one too many /s
I thought you meant "too many /s" like after too many layers of irony, Elmo loses his identity and goes on a full meltdown
That's not a thing.
Was there more to the post?
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.
Source: AP News article
Wow, that’s wild
Elmo calls it like it is
I mean except to the stuff specifically about the Jews.
Yeah, this doesn't seem like the same hackers.
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.
All popular conspiracy theories lead back to anti-semitism, except for the ones that are true about the CIA
Pretty sure it's just Elon embracing the Elmo moniker.
It's kinda wild this is a legitimate possibility
even Oscar the Grouch has cleaner hands than this whole admin, and that motherfucker lives in a garbage can.
🌮
Oh fuck no, don't post that person, literally a genocide advocating nazi
yeah fuck elmo. that shifty red piece of shit.
