        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?

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

      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…

      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”

    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.

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

      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.
