The posts on Elmo’s account on Sunday called for the extermination of Jewish people, referred to United States President Donald Trump as a “puppet” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded the release of law enforcement files about Epstein, the accused sex trafficker who died in 2019.

Sesame Workshop, which makes the children's show, described the string of antisemitic, racist messages posted to Elmo's X account on Sunday as "disgusting."

The posts, which contained racial slurs, violent language and references to President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, come only a week after Grok, X's AI chatbot, posted antisemitic comments.
