He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.

Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.

Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this

The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.

127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.

rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.

The commands, when put together, would look something like this:

traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)

The virus has been located at localhost (internally)

rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus

Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.

In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.

Tell me I'm crazy.

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 31 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

Precisely, thank you for illustrating.

Obligatory: not mine just pulled from Google images. Looks like morning brew logo in the corner

All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 16 points 4 hours ago

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".

Scanning 104.244.42.129 for fascist_bullshit

fascist_bullshit found!

Adding host to block list.

gameindustry.eu/ good site for tracker blocking etc in games

I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 42 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root

The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.

He's saying what everyone else already knows. He's infected and diseased

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.

If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet

Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer

[–] shalien@mastodon.projetretro.io 31 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

@theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 6 points 5 hours ago

Not if you're a Bash programmer ·υ·

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 hours ago

He is still bad at it

woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 53 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

[–] lewdian69@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago

No see, he's saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It's 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

Somehow he managed to add a new hostname to /etc/hosts, but then tries to undo it by rm'ing the hostname?

This is like someone who doesn’t speak English, finds a dictionary, and then puts random words together hoping to sound like they speak English.

He is such a fucking moron.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 53 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So he isn't even a techy, the whole thing has been an act

[–] lime@feddit.nu 82 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like

first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it
then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it
now he's talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he's saying some of the most batshit insane things i've ever heard, so i'm starting to reevaluate my earlier choices...

[–] skip0110@lemm.ee 47 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T

Remember this blast from the past?

He saying he used to be woke?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I mean, there was a period about 15 years ago when he seemed to be the only rich person actually talking about climate change, doing something that might make some difference (investing in an electric vehicle startup, and later a rooftop solar startup) and seemed to actually be concerned about it. I now question if that was just an act or not.

On the other hand there is the theory that he fell down the right wing social media pipeline during the pandemic and that's why he's seemed to have such a sudden shift on political party affiliation. I like that theory because I think it's kinda funny to imagine one of the richest men in the world being too cooped up and spending too long doomscrolling to the point that he became radicalized by social media algorithms
