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

      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.

          After his path of exile 2 bought account trying to pretend as a high level player but clearly having zero idea how to play.

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

    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

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

    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.

      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.

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

    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.
