Elmo—the adorable little red monster who has been a part of all of our hearts on Sesame Street for as long as many of us have been alive—is not too thrilled with his best friend Zoe's pet rock.
A clip from an airing of Sesame Street showed Elmo losing his mind at Zoe because she was denying him a cookie her pet rock, Rocco, wanted to eat.
Elmo was understandably confused and upset by this.

Apparently, Elmo's feud with Rocco has been going on for some time.
USA Today said "the rock is always getting in Elmo’s way, man."
"Zoe treats the rock like it’s an actual person on the show when we all know it’s not. It’s not a real person. It doesn’t need people things."
"We know that. The kids know that. Elmo knows that. The only one who doesn’t know it is Zoe. She’s tripping, y’all. Elmo is right."

I get why this is trending because this is legit the angriest I have ever seen Elmo\n\nIt\u2019s almost like the pandemic is getting to him too (and he doesn\u2019t even have lungs!)\n\nRight now we are all Elmo having an oatmeal raisin cookie denied him so that a rock can be placed next to ithttps://twitter.com/wumbooty/status/1478193742075023365\u00a0\u2026— Seth Abramson (@Seth Abramson) 1641426500

And the feud is ongoing.
While Elmo posted a heartfelt reassurance to the public he and Zoe were best friends, Elmo was unable to bring himself to comment on the status of his relationship with pet rock Rocco.
Don't worry everybody! Elmo and Zoe practiced sharing and are still best buds forever! Elmo loves you Zoe! Ha ha ha!\n\nElmo doesn't want to talk about Rocco.— Elmo (@Elmo) 1641416631

After the story of Rocco and Elmo's feud, Elmo needed some reassurance from the internet.
He went online to ask the most cutting question he could possibly imagine.
Has anybody ever seen a rock eat a cookie? Elmo is just curious.— Elmo (@Elmo) 1641418020
Yes, my friend. \nThis Rock devours cookies. \nAll kinds of cookies \nI\u2019ll introduce you to #CheatMeals and it\u2019ll change your life. \nTell Cookie Monster to move it over, cuz I\u2019m coming to Sesame Street to kick ass and eat cookies. \nAnd I\u2019m almost all outta cookies.\n~ Rock https://twitter.com/elmo/status/1478840478409756677\u00a0\u2026— Dwayne Johnson (@Dwayne Johnson) 1641491602
