    He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

    No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

    That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

    If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

    This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he’s saying he at some point had the ‘woke mind virus’ and deleted it, or more likely he’s saying this is what people need to do to ‘free’ themselves of the ‘woke mind virus’.

    You don’t have to endorse it to understand it. I don’t really understand Hazel’s confusion.

    • The confusion is an affectation they’re putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

      I especially love that he didn’t say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it’s from root, so he lobotomized himself.

    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.

    • It’s such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

      He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

    He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

    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.

    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.
