You know things are really bad when even Elmo was laid off. Well, to be fair, it is a joke but it still is pretty telling that we all understand Elmo’s fake pain.
The meme started with X user Amanda Litman posted a supposed LinkedIn update from our favorite 3 and a half year old on Sesame Street. It reads “Unfortunately Elmo was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts. Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years. Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street.”
