    Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he’s also a fake poser of a programmer

    Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

      To be fair to Musk (🤢), he would need to significantly dumb down proper Linux commands for his target audience. So it’s possible he wrote some pseudo command lines and sprinkled in the most known tech references that even his audience will sort of recognize.

        Or, as is most likely, he is in fact, a big fat poser with everything. Shit like this is like the “code” I used to pretend write on loose leaf paper in elementary school that was just computery-sounding gibberish.

        No see, he’s saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It’s 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s

      Somehow he managed to add a new hostname to /etc/hosts, but then tries to undo it by rm’ing the hostname?

    He’s saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.

    Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.

    Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this

    The commands wouldn’t work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But… They don’t need to if you’re just sending a message.

    127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.

    rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.

    The commands, when put together, would look something like this:

    traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)

    The virus has been located at localhost (internally)

    rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus

    Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.

    In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.

    Tell me I’m crazy.

      It’s such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

      He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

      Didn’t the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?

      Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.

      ❯ which rm
      /usr/bin/rm 
      

      Ah, no, apparently it isn’t.

    He’s trying to say “I’m attention seeking, look at me!”.

    He is just person born in rich family that used social media to create image of some kind of engineering genius, when his actual “skill” was to have money, push engineers to work hard and knowing how to get money from the government.

    This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he’s saying he at some point had the ‘woke mind virus’ and deleted it, or more likely he’s saying this is what people need to do to ‘free’ themselves of the ‘woke mind virus’.

    You don’t have to endorse it to understand it. I don’t really understand Hazel’s confusion.

      The confusion is an affectation they’re putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

      I especially love that he didn’t say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it’s from root, so he lobotomized himself.

        I assumed that’s what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.

    This is like someone who doesn’t speak English, finds a dictionary, and then puts random words together hoping to sound like they speak English.

    He is such a fucking moron.

    If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

      after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like

      first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it
      then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it
      now he’s talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he’s saying some of the most batshit insane things i’ve ever heard, so i’m starting to reevaluate my earlier choices…
