Just uh... don't look at the rest of what Elmo said.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 165 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

SpoilerBackground 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_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 105 points 1 week ago

Elmo has since been taken care of.

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.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 week ago

Well situations like this can be really ambiguous. It's not as clear cut as "from the river to the sea"

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe he meant Jaws, like the shark that can never be truly killed. With his soul-less eyes...black eyes...like a dolls eyesssss.....

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

"Kill all jaws" actually seems even worse (though less bigoted), given how many species have at least one of those..

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

those are so funny because it's just
"what????"
"yeah I agree lol"
"what????"

Besmirching Elmo's good name. 😞 Awful.

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.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week ago

Elmo would never!

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You should watch Jon Stewart's monologue from yesterday.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wow, that was some supreme both-sides shit.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah, when he said "He said Free Luigi!", I was like, "...and?"

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Jon Stewart. Yeah. He helped get compensation for 9/11 and then just said I’m FINISHED like Daniel Plainview in TWBB

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Monologue? He interviewed Elmo!

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Elmo just gets a little heated after one too many /s

[–] 90s_hacker@reddthat.com 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
