    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:

    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

      The thing is that this kind of thing works for people who don’t know better. I have spoken to dudes who like the abstract notion of Musk being a gamer, probably because it wasn’t apparent to them that his Path of Exile account was so obviously boosted. Similarly, a script-kiddie can seem like a skilled programmer to people who have little knowledge of programming

    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.

      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

          Funnily enough he doesn’t even have a physics degree. He has been wrongly claiming that forever, and one joke is that’s one reason he bought Twitter, because the guys there wouldn’t shut up about that

            That’s why the plural is in parenthesis.

            He bought Twitter because he had to. He made a legally binding offer to purchase it at a soecific price per share as a joke and then was forced to follow through because Jack Dorsey et al did not take it as a joke.

            Elon’s forced purchase of Twitter is proof how dumb he can be.

          Going of memories:

          Didn’t he write a codebase that was so bad, that paypal throw it out when they realized what they had bought.
          Also did he finish his physics bachelor?

            Yes he did write bad code. I don’t believe the degree was even offered at that time as economics and physics are different departments
