Elmo Is Being Absolutely Dragged Over His Most Recent Tweet

Well, it appears everyone is after Elmo.

It all started with this completely innocuous tweet from the fuzzy red muppet showing how he could count:

EVERYBODY! CHECK THIS OUT!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20!
Elmo can count to 20! Pretty cool!

That little post has garnered thousands and thousands of reactions, and a lot of them are negative.

It appears it set a bunch of people off.

"He's not special," this person said.

"I'm not impressed. not one bit," another person chimed in.

Another person challenged him to go to 30.

And this person wanted him to do something about the port strike. It's never enough!

I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying this tweet has thousands of retweets and replies! People went after him!

But let's not focus on that!

Anyway, this tweet is further proof our society's expectations of muppets have gone too far. Let's keep it civil out there, people. I'm sure some of y'all can't count that high either.
