The times are difficult, even for the stars of loved children's TV, amid discounts in the federal budget.
After the Trump administration has finished granting education this week that funded PBS children for a long time, a fake LinkedIn post was heading online Sesame Street Star Elmo, declaring that he is looking for work.
“Unfortunately, Elmo was recently accelerated due to federal budget discounts,” MUPPET started in the post that has been deleted since then that has been shared on X. Sesame Street For 45 years. Elamo is sad. I love his time in Sesame Street”
Elsewhere in the post, which is impossible to read in any other voice other than Elmo, he tells some of his professional skills. “Like hugs. Elmo loves to give hugs. ELMO can also recognize the letter E, spell its name, feel sympathetic, and sing” Elmo's song “and asks how you are.”
“If you hear about any chances, or you want a hug, let's communicate. If you want to help Elmo and his friends, please urge your person in the local Congress to save the public media.”
“While Elmo is sad, Elamo is excited for the next,” and concluded the post. “And something else: Elamo loves you.”
A Sesame workshop A delegate has since made it clear to the pluscinemaz.comthat the post was from a fake account, adding in a statement:Sesame workshop PBS has a joint commitment to the power of general TV to bring in cash learning for children all over the country.

Keeping our basic service,” Sarah Diite, Vice President and General Manager of PBS KIDS, said in a statement.
Last week, Trump signed an executive order ordering CPB to end federal funding to PBS and NPR. But CPB and those networks have challenged the president's authority to do so, as Congress authorized and CPB financing to be a private non -profit company independent of the federal government. Trump also ordered other federal agencies to end funding to the public media.
