Elmo, the Sesame Street character, has his own Twitter (X) account, and on Thursday, he shared something that seems to be bothering a lot of people.
Happy Leap Day, everybody! Ribbit ribbit ha ha ha! Elmo Frog loves you. ❤️ #LeapDay pic.twitter.com/PJSIx9l9J4

People were quick to show their contempt for Elmo Frog.
- “Elmo Frog is straight out of my nightmares” – @xlr8gam1ng.
- “This is an abomination before god Elmo” – @SxarletRed.
- “Get this shit off my feed” – @Cokedupoptions.

Meanwhile, Elmo’s friends decided to post things that wouldn’t upset the shit out of people, sharing pretty run-of-the-mill Leap Day messages.

Elmo is no stranger to online hatred. On Jan. 29, he made the mistake of asking his over half-a-million followers how they were doing.
Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?

Taking the question quite literally, since it’s not a typical question to ask hundreds of thousands of people in a public forum, folks told Elmo how they were doing.
“In the grand scheme of the universe, our existence is merely a blink, devoid of inherent meaning or purpose. We are fleeting shadows in an indifferent cosmos.” – @ContrarianGuild
“People have lost all hope in a distopian nightmare that was once called “America.” We are told not to trust our eyes and to “believe the science.” Unless the science has to do with gender. We are on the edge of a civil war , a world war, and a culture war. In the absence of god, there is only taylor swift.” – @GundamIsHere
“Wife left me
Daughters don’t respect me
My job is a joke
Any more questions, Elmo??? Jesus man” – @DaveMcNamee3000
“I feel like we all died in 2020.” – @AstroBaby91
Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends! Elmo loves you.❤️ #EmotionalWellBeing pic.twitter.com/jhn2LNKfHf

Elmo, who also sells $25 personalized Cameos and has a long-running beef with Larry David, has not responded to our multiple requests for comment.
In other news, Elmo was recently arrested in Florida on disorderly conduct charges, WSVN reports, but it all turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
