Elmo's X account got hacked: demands Trump to release Epstein files, calls to 'kill all Jews'
Elmo wrote on X, "RELEASE THE FILES [Donald Trump] CHILD F***ER" and several other posts calling for the death of Jews over their "control" of the world.
Additionally, the hacked social media account accused Trump of being Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's puppet, claiming further that the US President is in the Epstein files, which prevents him from releasing them to the public.
The hacking incident caused a flood of comments and posts from social media users on the same platform. An X user wrote, "Elmo isn't wrong about tr*mp though."
Another added, "Elmo is done playing games."
Reports about Jeffrey Epstein were reignited by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after they revealed that he committed suicide during his prison sentence and didn't have a client list for his notorious island.
In addition to its official claims, the DOJ released a video that captured Esptein in his cell alone during the night he died, revealing no foul play or an external factor.
However, the closure of years of speculation, conspiracy theories, and political tensions didn't sit well with many individuals, sparking more debate and rumors on social media.

Netanyahu warns Hamas not to mistake truce efforts for "weakness"
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the Palestinian group Hamas should not view his country's willingness to reach a truce deal in Gaza as a "weakness". "We are working to reach another deal for the release of our hostages. But if Hamas interprets our willingness to reach a deal as weakness, as an opportunity to dictate surrender terms that would endanger the State of Israel, it is gravely mistaken," he said in a speech.

US President Trump 'caught off guard' by Israeli strikes in Syria
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump was "caught off guard" by Israeli strikes in Syria last week, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Monday, adding that he discussed the issue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel had launched strikes on the capital Damascus and the southern Druze-majority city of Sweida, saying it aimed to put pressure on the Syrian government to withdraw its troops from the region amid ongoing clashes there. Trump "was caught off guard by the bombing in Syria and also the bombing of a Catholic church in Gaza," Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing. "In both accounts, the president quickly called the prime minister to rectify those situations," she continued. Netanyahu had visited the White House earlier this month, his third trip since Trump returned to power on January 20. "The president enjoys a good working relationship with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and stays in, you know, frequent communication with him," Leavitt said. "When it came to Syria, we saw a de-escalation there." Israel and Syria on Friday entered a US-brokered ceasefire. Also on Friday, PM Netanyahu called Pope Leo to express regret at the strike on the Catholic church in Gaza, blaming a "stray missile." In May, Trump met with Syria's Islamist president Ahmad al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia shortly after lifting many longstanding US sanctions against Damascus. Trump later praised the leader, who led a major armed group that was once aligned with Al Qaeda and toppled the Syrian government in December. The United States removed a bounty on Sharaa's head after he came to power.

Trump announces 'massive' Japan trade deal
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has announced a "massive" trade deal with Japan, as China said it will send its vice premier to US trade talks next week to secure its own agreement ahead of a looming deadline. In an attempt to slash his country's colossal trade deficit, the US president has vowed to hit dozens of countries with punitive "reciprocal" tariffs if they do not hammer out a pact with Washington by August 1. The Japan agreement, along with another pact with the Philippines also announced on Tuesday, means Trump has now secured five agreements since his administration promised in April "90 deals in 90 days." The others are with Britain, Vietnam and Indonesia, which the White House said Tuesday would ease critical mineral export restrictions. Negotiations are still ongoing with much larger US trading partners China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. Representatives from China and the United States will meet next week in the Swedish capital Stockholm to try and hammer out a deal before an August 12 deadline agreed in May. As the clock ticks down, China said Wednesday it will seek to "strengthen cooperation" with Washington at the talks, and confirmed vice premier He Lifeng would attend. Japan deal "We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday. He said that under the deal, "Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits". He did not provide further details on the unusual investment plan, but said it "will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs". Japanese exports to the United States were already subject to a 10 per cent tariff, which would have risen to 25 per cent on August 1 without a deal. Duties of 25 per cent on Japanese autos -- an industry accounting for eight per cent of Japanese jobs -- were also already in place, plus 50 per cent on steel and aluminum. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that the autos levy had now been cut to 15 per cent, sending Japanese car stocks soaring, with Toyota and Mitsubishi up around 14 per cent each. The Nikkei rose 3.5 per cent. "We are the first (country) in the world to reduce tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, with no limits on volume," he told reporters. "By protecting what needs to be protected, we continued the negotiations with an aim to reach an agreement that meets the national interest of both Japan and the US," Ishiba added. Rice imports However, Japan's trade envoy Ryosei Akazawa, who secured the deal on his eighth visit to Washington, said the 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum would remain. Akazawa also said increased defense spending by Japan -- something Trump has pressed for -- was not part of the agreement. Trump said Tuesday Japan has also agreed to "open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things." Rice imports are a sensitive issue in Japan, and Ishiba's government -- which lost its upper house majority in elections on Sunday -- had previously ruled out any concessions. Japan currently imports 770,000 tons of rice tariff-free under its World Trade Organization commitments, and Ishiba said it would import more US grain within this. Ishiba said Wednesday that the deal does not "sacrifice" Japan's agricultural sector. Tatsuo Yasunaga, the chair of Japan Foreign Trade Council, welcomed the trade deal announcement but said the business community needed to see details to assess its impact. "I highly commend the fact that this major milestone has been achieved and dispelled the uncertainty that private companies had been concerned about," Yasunaga said. Naomi Omura, an 80-year-old voter, said it was "disappointing that Japan cannot act more strongly" towards the United States. Tetsuo Momiyama, 81, said that Ishiba "is finished... It's good timing for him to go." Reports claimed Wednesday that he aims to step down soon following the election debacle. Eyes on the prize Other major US trading partners are watching closely as the end of the month approaches. The Philippines' deal also announced Tuesday only saw levies cut by one percentage point, to 19 per cent, after Trump hosted President Ferdinand Marcos. China on Wednesday said it supported "equal dialogue" following the announcement of the Japan-US deal. Beijing and Washington imposed escalating, tit-for-tat levies on each other's exports earlier this year, reaching triple-digit levels. But in talks in Geneva in May they agreed to lower them temporarily until August 12.
