    Woke mind found at loopback interface

    Wokemind deleted

    Now let’s traceroute a fucking loopback of something you deleted…

    It’s not funny, it’s not smart but it definitely is Elon.

    He can fake gaming kinda-sorta, he can fake admirers kinda-sorta… Why could he kinda-sorta fake programming skills?

    He’s the ultimate fake

    Please do notice that he replied to himself a month after the fact. He was cooking that up for an entire month 😹

      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. 🙄

        Waddaya mean we can’t just arbitrarily delete stuff of a public server once we know its ip address? It’s not fair! 😡

    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

      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.

    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 Elon

        I’m actually shocked Elon hasn’t offered to impregnate her. Either it’s an oversight, or he HAS and we just don’t know about it.

    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.

    🤔, 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.
