It's a Unix system! Elon knows this!

I was a huge SpaceX fan from the early days so watched a lot of Musks presentations and interviews and noticed a lot of repetition and always felt he was strongly working from talking points combined with a reasonably good high level understanding of the topic.

He didn't work as well off script and seemed to have stunted emotional development, not unlike a lot of internet age manboys raised on memes, video games and porn. It is difficult to reconcile his behaviour with an adult, father and manager of people and money. I suspect he has some seriously competent peiple around him like Shotwell who cover for his fuck ups.

IMO he probably is the kind of guy who can soak up stuff around him, turn it into a set of talking points and repeat it with the appearance of expertise. I think he may have had some cognitive decline due to age and lifestyle but I think he was a pretty competent bullshit artist in the past.

I am not an expert at anything but like many IT people discovered long ago that I can pick up most things in my general field with a bit of research. It is a dangerous mindset sometimes. There really is the feeling that with some basic undergrad math and comp sci and a weekend of googling you can understand quantum field theory and it's totally delusional of course.

Unfortunately the fake it to you make it culture seems to have won. It doesn't matter how crap you are, if you put yourself out there with confidence you will outcompete the quiet competent types. And when you get caught out there never seem to be consequences.

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

Now if he would just remove the French localization

did he just delete his brain via neuralink?

I love how this lucky fucker is always playing his perpetual rolling 20 by chance as genius, when its apparent luck just loves the WORST former genocide victims, from South African Huguenots to Israeli Jews. Armenians, do worse if you want to do better!

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

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

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.

thats not how rm -rf works

Elon is not an engineer. Don't believe his lies.

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.

Sounds like Muskrat can't remove the virus it as it deleted the RM command.

-bash: woke_mind_virus: command not found

Reminds me of this classic https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hack-127001

Well if its in $PATH he just ran it twice

Musky needs to hook up with NextGenHacker101 and get on that tracer-t tip!

🤔, 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.

Elon you found the Virus in your brain. Now do "rm -rf /"!!!
