God this tweet makes me mad on so many levels. Anyone who has spent any meaningful amount of time in the command line knows this tweet is such bullshit.
EDIT: Further venting of frustrations.
Please do notice that he replied to himself a month after the fact. He was cooking that up for an entire month ๐น
It just took a month to connect to his own brain.
Without even realizing that rm -rf works on posix filesystems which are not directly exposed at osi layer 3.
This is the brilliant scientific mind that wants to take humanity to mars. ๐
And still couldn't figure out how it works.
What a pathetic loser ๐น
This is a freshman CS/IT major's attempt at humor. Most of us learn and grow out of it and/or get the memes right, but Elon isn't smart and isn't actually capable of understanding how stupid this looks
No it major would fuck the syntax like that, this is a script kiddie hooting through a mouthful of cheetos
Musk has no teal programming credentials to speak of I thought. His degree(s) are physics and economics.
It's just another case of Musk trying to sound smart but instead ends up proving that he doesn't even have a basic working understanding on the subject.
I guess this time the only difference is that it doesn't look like he paid an actually competent person to help him with it.
This might be giving him too much credit, but I think what he's trying to say is that he had the woke_mind_virus and deleted it from his mind? They've all co-opted the term red pill from the Matrix (widely seen as a trans allegory) and are using it to justify their unpopular actions because they're now free of having to be "woke" and can oppress those who are marginalized.
Obligatory Fuck Elon:
Fuck thats some good shit. It will never cease to amaze me how every piece of pop culture they touch brings the creators out swinging.
Ivanka Trump is trans confirmed. She got those boobs from the red estrogen pill.
๐คฎ
thats not how rm -rf works
Not to diminish the fact that that's not how rm works, but that's also not how anything else in his tweet works either.
I only care about the rm part
Yeah he needs a file or directory list after a space after the f
Traditional is /*
Just / would work but --no-preserve-root would kick it up a notch
Indeed
Yeah that command wouldn't run. Which means Elon still has the woke mind virus.
That's probably why he told everyone to take the red pill. The red pill is estrogen.
...ohhhhhh, so that's how he's going to create those genetically engineered catgirls! He meant epigenetic changes caused by estrogen!
But estrogen pills are blue yo
Trust me I know
This is what they looked like in the 90s
Damn, so both pills are estrogen!
Well if its in $PATH he just ran it twice
Elon is not an engineer. Don't believe his lies.
Sounds like Muskrat can't remove the virus it as it deleted the RM command.
GASP the virus is in the user!
sudo rm -rf elonmusk
Wait, woke isn't a virus but Elon is?
๐๐งโ๐๐ซ๐งโ๐
-bash: woke_mind_virus: command not foundElon you found the Virus in your brain. Now do "rm -rf /"!!!
๐ค, I must not have the mind virus then as 127.0.0.1 does not loopback on my machines. Victory? Also I'd just like to point out that while hostnames can contain _ they're not supposed to as it's reserved for special purposes like SRV records.
