    seems like i cant escape elon musk on my feed..

    It's super obnoxious, but here's hoping it'll fade away in a couple days.

    Until he needs his next media attention fix.

    Ideally the truth and being awake would spread like a virus. But in reality not so much.

    If you use rm -rf in a dead joke, pls at least don’t make syntax errors!

    E.g.

    It is rm -rf *nazi*

    Not

    Nazi delete rm -rf

    This would mean that nazi deletes the rm -rf tool…

    Oh, so in addition to a fake engineer and a fake gamer, he's also a fake Linux user. The only thing this loser is genuine at is being a Nazi.

    I prefer the term "Phony Stark".

    Maybe lay off the drugs for a few days, Elon.

    [–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 83 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    So he found the virus on his own mind?

    [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Exactly. And then he removed it and went looking for it's origins. Don't overthink his bullshit, it's pretty plain.

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

    it's in reverse order, the top tweet is quoting the bottom, earlier, one.

    [–] nick@midwest.social 33 points 1 day ago

    Egregiously fucking stupid even for this utter clowndick.

    [–] n3cr0@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

    I bet he gets scammed over frequently by self-proclaimed Microsoft support staff.

    rm: cannot remove 'stupid': Device or resource busy

    This man should shred -u himself

    sudo kill -9 1

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 20 hours ago

    He is a pathetic excuse for a person.

    Dammit, I should've made a "no politics" rule...

    [–] overload@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    I'm not very good at bash at all. I was hoping someone would explain what he's trying to say to me.

    I feel that "found at" wouldn't be a terminal printout followed by the home reference, but he's saying the woke mond virus is on the device?

    Is he saying it's a program that "deleted" the ability to "rm -rf"? Why would removing files (recursively and forced) be something it would do? Why would the options -rf be there? Wouldn't it be enough to delete the rm binary?

    Traceroute woke mind virus, is woke mind virus an IP address or something? I thought it was a program based on the above lines. He's expecting to find the route to the woke mind virus IP address with this command?

    What is Elon saying?

    β€œHow do you do, fellow Linux users?”

    [–] seahorse@midwest.social 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Traceroute traces packets by IP address so he's "finding" the IP of the virus and then deleting that location which makes no sense because you can't really delete an IP address.

    [–] nick@midwest.social 3 points 12 hours ago

    AND he’s trying to delete localhost which is… extra dumb.

    I mean if he could delete his wormy brain id be a-ok with that.

    [–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Looks like he ran a trace route for a little over 3 years and it found that the 'woke mind virus' was coming from inside the host! He then deleted the file/DNS..? Last part is unclear given the context.

    [–] overload@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

    Ah thank you, seems like he knows as much bash as me!

    [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    He's saying he found the virus in himself and overcame it. It's a call for introspection. Then he's trying to trace it back to it's origins.

    "I woke up and fixed myself! Now, where did these dastardly ideas come from?"

    Probably thought it was profound on a drug trip of some sort. "Hey man! What if we could get all the nerds on our side? I'll show them I'm cool too!"

    Y'all are way over analyzing this shit.

    [–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I think you’re overthinking it, also the tweets are in the wrong order chronologically in your story. The smaller tweet happened first

    [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    Fine. He found it in himself and deleted it. My comment still stands.

    Hang on. Is Musk the YouTube user NextGenHacker101?

    [–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

    Guaranteed he ripped this joke from someone on his staff

    How much you wanna bet he was making beep-boop noises while typing this?

    [–] elgordino@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

    There are β€˜Stop the steal’ rallies going on in South Korea. anti_woke_mind_virus detected I guess.
