Jon Stewart confronted Elmo during Monday night's "The Daily Show" over the "Sesame Street" puppet's X hack and antisemitic tweets.

The X account of Sesame Street’s Elmo, a beloved children’s television character, shared antisemitic and anti-Donald Trump posts after being hacked on Sunday. A slew of messages calling for the extermination of Jewish people and labeling the United States president a “puppet” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were shared on the account.

Was Elmo hacked? The Sesame Street star published – and deleted – a post on X challenging President Donald Trump to "release the files" with an NSFW message.

Tuesday briefing: Trump and Putin; ICE’s bond order; Education Department cuts; New Jersey flooding; wildfires; Elmo; and more ICE declared millions of undocumented immigrants ineligible for bond hearings. The Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump to slash the Education Department.

It seems Elmo's world recently included vitriolic racist and antisemitic social media posts. Sesame Workshop says it seeks to restore control over the beloved puppet's X page.

Steve Bannon issued an ominous warning to outgoing X CEO Linda Yaccarino as tensions continue to escalate between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Yaccarino announced on Wednesday that she is stepping down as CEO of X after two years.

Meanwhile, the White House has been publishing memes featuring AI representations of the President as Superman, which is totally normal behaviour
