    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

    He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

    No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

    That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

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

      Please.

      If I wanted to read Musk, I’d follow him.

      If I wanted to see someone’s tweets all day, I’d be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

      I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

      Thanks.

      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…

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

    This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice

      I think that kid made the youtube channel “Engineering Made Easy”

      It’s a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of “Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR”

    The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won’t have to read his takes.

    Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

    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.

      I mean, there was a period about 15 years ago when he seemed to be the only rich person actually talking about climate change, doing something that might make some difference (investing in an electric vehicle startup, and later a rooftop solar startup) and seemed to actually be concerned about it. I now question if that was just an act or not.

      On the other hand there is the theory that he fell down the right wing social media pipeline during the pandemic and that’s why he’s seemed to have such a sudden shift on political party affiliation. I like that theory because I think it’s kinda funny to imagine one of the richest men in the world being too cooped up and spending too long doomscrolling to the point that he became radicalized by social media algorithms

      “Woke” is really similar to the boogyman for them. So maybe he is admitting that and that he is infected by the wrong belief in the boogyman.

      Nah he cosplayed as a goth once when he was a teenager. Other than that, he has always been a failed nerd.

      Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes

    This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case…

    rm -rf * woke

    Jokes on him. I’m a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there’s nothing he can do about it.
