I just learned that Elmo, the popular red Sesame Street muppet, went “full Nazi” on X on Sunday, July 13, 2025 [Paul Rois for Breitbart, July 13, 2025]. To be clear, by full Nazi we mean in pro-Holocaust sense instead of the everyone I don’t like is Hitler sense. People are saying “Elmo” was hacked. This may be true. But I am not jumping to conclusions. See, I was not born yesterday. I am old enough to remember the video game magazine writers were all tingly about Conker, a little video game squirrel who was a selectable racer in Diddy Kong Racing and star of the children’s Game Boy Color adventure Conker’s Pocket Tales, reemerged on Nintendo 64 as degenerate potty-mouthed alcoholic in Conker’s Bad Fur Day. While I suspect that “the people” are almost certainly correct in guessing that Elmo’s X account was hacked, there is a tiny possibility that this is part of a dark, Conker-style re-branding (but with less alcohol and potty “humor” and more “just asking questions” and Nazis). Time will tell.
(Aside: My only video game experience with Conker came in Diddy Kong Racing. I never had any interest in playing Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but I remember that it was a hot topic in the video game magazines for several months.)
