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

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

    Until he needs his next media attention fix.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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

    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…

    He is a pathetic excuse for a person.

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 93 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    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".

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

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

    Guaranteed he ripped this joke from someone on his staff

    [–] [email protected] 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?

    [–] [email protected] 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.

    [–] [email protected] 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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 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.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day 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.

    [–] [email protected] 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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

    [–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 85 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    So he found the virus on his own mind?

    [–] [email protected] 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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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