Elmo's 2025 'Ins And Outs' List Unearths Long-Buried Drama

Social media has some thoughts about the Muppet digging up an old feud.

Elmo just dropped his 2025 “ins and outs” list, and geology fans may not be tickled.

In his inaugural list posted on X, formerly called Twitter, the beloved “Sesame Street” character declared his “ins” as “smiling more, making friends and learning big words.” But it was his “outs” that truly caught the public’s attention, which was simply — rocks.

Elmo’s long-standing feud with rocks can be traced back to his infamous feud with Rocco, the pet rock of his best friend, Zoe. A YouTube compilation video detailing the rivalry paints a picture that shows the lovable red character is simply unable to reconcile that Rocco, something so immovable and indifferent, can exist in a world that, for Elmo, thrives on connection, love and warmth.

While Zoe is not absolved of blame in this saga, Elmo did issue a public apology in 2022 to his friend — but reiterated that he still doesn’t want to speak about Rocco.

On X, a number of people reacted to Elmo unearthing the old feud with his list.
