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

[–] shalien@mastodon.projetretro.io 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

@theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

My sister's name is Amanda, not Admin!

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if you're a Bash programmer ·υ·

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

He exposed himself as a poser especially as a bash programmer

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

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 31 points 2 months ago

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

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months 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.

[–] Phineaz@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Well, maybe not a moratorium, but I certainly would appreciate some peace and quiet.

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 months ago

He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.

But he isn't...

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] lime@feddit.nu 77 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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...

[–] skip0110@lemm.ee 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T

Remember this blast from the past?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

Tracer Tong?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

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

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He saying he used to be woke?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes

"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.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months 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"

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

Lmao, so accurate.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 17 points 2 months 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.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 16 points 2 months ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 14 points 2 months ago

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

[–] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

rm -rf * woke
[–] Gork@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

Jokes on him. I'm a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there's nothing he can do about it.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won't have to read his takes.

Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago (2 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 25 points 2 months 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.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

The woke mind virus is coming from INSIDE the house

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago
[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] apotheotic 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a medical diagnosis and a slur and also fitting. It's hard to treat the retarded man child unless we first accept that he is one.

[–] apotheotic 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Last I checked school teachers didn't make medical diagnoses. Elon is a fucking tool, but we don't need to perpetuate ableism when we talk about him.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Last I checked school teachers didn't make medical diagnoses

Then you are not paying attention to the American school system. Qualified to? Oh most certainly not, but doing it anyway. Heck my 5 year old sister is being diagnosed with just about everything the teachers can offer to the point that there is now a discussion on what tranquilizer to prescribe her without yet talking to a doctor.

We are fucked. Let's at least call out the guy that clearly has an IQ from drug abuse to be qualified as retarded so and you can get upset at my slur of calling him a man-child instead.

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

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

He is just person born in rich family that used social media to create image of some kind of engineering genius, when his actual "skill" was to have money, push engineers to work hard and knowing how to get money from the government.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 months ago

The woke mind virus is coming from inside the Musk!

[–] red@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

pretty sure he is saying the woke mind people found themselves and deleted themselves, that quote retweet makes no sense to me

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Well, it is a virus /s

Obviously it had spread to his mind from others so he was doing some antivirusing
