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?
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

Wow, that’s wild
rustyfish@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

Elmo has since been taken care of.

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…
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
“Kill all jaws” actually seems even worse (though less bigoted), given how many species have at least one of those…
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
those are so funny because it’s just
“what???”
“yeah I agree lol”
“what???”

Besmirching Elmo’s good name. 😞 Awful.

Elmo is Elon Musk?
No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
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.

Elmo would never!
