    The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won’t have to read his takes.

    Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

      “Woke” is really similar to the boogyman for them. So maybe he is admitting that and that he is infected by the wrong belief in the boogyman.

      Nah he cosplayed as a goth once when he was a teenager. Other than that, he has always been a failed nerd.

      Edit: apologies, that is what he is saying in the tweet, yes

      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

      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.

      Didn’t the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?

      Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.

      which rm
      /usr/bin/rm 
      

      Ah, no, apparently it isn’t.

    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.

          i’d nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses’ genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn’t crack.

          1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
          2. Yup
          3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

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

      I think that kid made the youtube channel “Engineering Made Easy”

      It’s a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of “Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR”

        That’s a medical diagnosis and a slur and also fitting. It’s hard to treat the retarded man child unless we first accept that he is one.

          Last I checked school teachers didn’t make medical diagnoses. Elon is a fucking tool, but we don’t need to perpetuate ableism when we talk about him.

            Then you are not paying attention to the American school system. Qualified to? Oh most certainly not, but doing it anyway. Heck my 5 year old sister is being diagnosed with just about everything the teachers can offer to the point that there is now a discussion on what tranquilizer to prescribe her without yet talking to a doctor.

            We are fucked. Let’s at least call out the guy that clearly has an IQ from drug abuse to be qualified as retarded so and you can get upset at my slur of calling him a man-child instead.
