We submit this poorly constructed, years-in-the-making joke that Musk seemingly made to flaunt his programmer — and culture warrior — cred, in which he bizarrely admits to having once been "woke."The "joke" is that the IP, 127.0.0.1, is the localhost, or the computer that's being currently used (which many were quick to point ondoes what it says on the tin: it displays the path that a request made to a server takes through the internet.

But whatever. Let's say he did find the woke mind virus. In Elon's joke, it's found at an IP address — his brain — suggesting it's a running virus/application with its own server.Using this command for a single virus is overkill.

Here's where things get extra dumb. Elon elides showing us the actual deletion command, but he does show its success message in the form of "woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf." This is also puzzling, because these commands normally Now in his defense, it could be that "woke_mind_virus delete rm -rf" is meant to be the deletion command — but if this is the case the order is all wrong, and since no directory is specified, nothing would be deleted anyway.
