He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

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

ketamine is one hell of a drug

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

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

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"

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

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 4 points 3 hours ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

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

rm -rf * woke
[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 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 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)

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

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 24 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[–] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[–] sepi@piefed.social 19 points 7 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 85 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 35 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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

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 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Thomrade@lemm.ee 1 points 34 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 176 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

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 186 points 14 hours ago (8 children)

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

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

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 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 28 points 11 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.

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