It's a Unix system! Elon knows this!

Not to diminish the fact that that's not how rm works, but that's also not how anything else in his tweet works either.

Yeah that command wouldn't run. Which means Elon still has the woke mind virus.

That's probably why he told everyone to take the red pill. The red pill is estrogen.

...ohhhhhh, so that's how he's going to create those genetically engineered catgirls! He meant epigenetic changes caused by estrogen!

Yeah he needs a file or directory list after a space after the f

Traditional is /*

Bruh you better watch out or I'm gonna delete your IP address

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:

you put yourself out there with confidence and your parents blood money from emerald mines you will outcompete the quiet competent types.

But yeah. Point taken.

Nah, he is just a scammer with a lot of luck.

Je was fired for incompetence, for one.

However, if you start looking in what he has promised and what he really has done, a new pattern emerges: it's all bullshit. He continuously makes fantastic claims that will be ready by tomorrow. It'll all be done by tomorrow, really!

Tesla's full self driving, is already here, claimed for 10 years and still isn't even close. Tesla hasn't made any new models in the past 10 years begpnd the cyber truck which is a horrendous laughably stupid thing, yet Tesla is still valued more than any other car company that make 10-100 times the amounts of cars that Tesla does.

SpaceX? We'll be on Mars in 2020, 2021, 2022, etc... SpaceX still can't get itself beyond low earth orbit and only managed to explode a banana over the Indian ocean. They're literally 1% done of what they got billions of tax payer funding from. Meanwhile they cheer every time a rocket blows up because.....fun? Ohh, how about the tickets sending people to the other side of the world in 39 minutes? Of course any high schooler could tell you 20 reasons why that's bullshit but Elon fans lap it up.

Boring company? Would make tunnels 100 times cheaper than others, really, truly! Of course anyone can do that too if you don't put in rails, emergency exits, space to escape in case of emergency, stations, etc.

Okay, how about star link? You know, those thousands of satellites that do the job of single satellites, and totally won't cause the Kessler syndrome? Yeah, use thousands of satellites in orbits so low that you'll have to replace them every 5 years costing billions. What does it get you? A slightly lower ping. This seems the most actual successful project to date that comes from him and it's still a shit show

Hyperloop? The absolute bullshit show what got tens of Billions of investment and went nowhere ever because the idea is fundamentally flawed? Even universities jumped in because reasons, it stopped high speed rail development in the US because this would be so much better, and yeah... China has tens of thousands of kilometres of high speed rail now, and the US has... Nothing.

The robots? The spandex guy, FFS... Any "real" demo of his robots has been 20 years behind on Boston dynamics and even then they had to fake most of if with humans controlling those sad machines

Did I forget anything? Ooohh yeah, the solar roofs, where he cheated too. Lots of court cases about that one

Elon Musk is a scammer, that's it

Each of his companies has to have a layer of management that's simply about directing his attention somewhere that won't hurt the company. SpaceX seems to do this best, Tesla is OK to bad, and Xhitter is by far the worst.

New fear unlocked: I fit this description and just don't realize it. Kind of along the lines of imposter syndrome. Am I just bullshitting everyone around me into thinking I'm competent?

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. 🙄

And still couldn't figure out how it works.
What a pathetic loser 😹

It just took a month to connect to his own brain.

That command would remove everything in the folder, and every subfolder. But yeah pretty dumb.

I've watched/played/read things I wouldn't have discovered if there hadn't been masses of people crying "woke" about them; there was a period where it was a really useful recommendation engine, because they'd be especially pissy if high quality stuff was woke. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as well anymore, because "woke" is increasingly meaningless

Anarchists could be on that list. I grew up thinking anarchists were chaos demons trying to fuck shit up for fun. Turns out they're just people who actually have empathy and aren't greedy shitheads.

No IT major would fuck the syntax like that, this is a script kiddie hooting through a mouthful of cheetos

can't delete what you don't have

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/neuralink bs=5G

GASP the virus is in the user!

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
