Jon Stewart hosted Elmo on tonight’s show, which was initially supposed to be about the tariffs. Remember those? Trump added a 17% tax to Mexican tomatoes today. But instead, Stewart did an extended riff about Elmo getting radicalized by the manosphere because he is a victim of the Male Loneliness Epidemic. The truth does, in fact, hurt.

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

The talk show host said he had a "tremendous" show planned but "had to scrap all that because Elmo lost his f‑‑‑ing mind."The world is still reeling from the fallout of Elmo getting hacked on social media — and that includes Jon Stewart.

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.
