He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

ketamine is one hell of a drug

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 hours ago

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.

Now I want to see:

  • a genius'es concept of an idiot
  • an idiot's concept of an idiot
  • a genius'es concept of a genius

  1. most of the cast of Arrested Development
  2. the movie: Idiocracy
  3. lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman

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

rm -rf * woke
[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 34 points 4 hours ago

His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 4 hours ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 1 points 43 seconds ago

Emerald off the rails

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 hours ago

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

Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 23 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root

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

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[-] sepi@piefed.social 20 points 8 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 82 points 11 hours ago

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 34 points 10 hours ago

I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago

Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 49 points 12 hours ago

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root

The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.

[-] Thomrade@lemm.ee 1 points 52 minutes ago

It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.

Actually I'd worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I'm willing to take.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 173 points 14 hours ago

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's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".

[-] aleq@lemmy.world 184 points 15 hours ago

woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 59 points 15 hours ago

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

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

[-] vort3@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 27 points 12 hours ago

I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet

[-] mukt@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Come on man no need to throw slurs around even if you're quoting someone else

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago

He's saying what everyone else already knows. He's infected and diseased

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 29 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 45 points 14 hours ago

So he isn't even a techy, the whole thing has been an act

[-] lime@feddit.nu 77 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

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...
