), posted 5 hours ago: "Hi LinkedIn, Elmo was laid off due to budget cuts after 45 years at Sesame Street. Elmo is sad, will miss friends like Big Bird and Cookie Monster. Elmo loves hugs, can spell his name, sing 'Elmo’s Song,' and is open to new roles. Let’s connect for opportunities or hugs. Urge your congress person to save Public Media. Elmo is excited for what’s next and loves you."
