    Well, it turns out that Elmo's question has some people feeling a little existential, as many were quick to tell him that things are not so merry and joyous right now. So here are some of the best responses that did not hold back one bit:

    1.

    Elmo I'm gonna be real I am at my fucking limit https://t.co/ne78Qj4cQm

    Elmo each day the abyss we stare into grows a unique horror. one that was previously unfathomable in nature. our inevitable doom which once accelerated in years, or months, now accelerates in hours, even minutes.

    however I did have a good grapefruit earlier, thank you for asking https://t.co/svATFv7ek8
