He did the exact same thing after taking over Twitter, talking about "poorly batched RPCs" in the timeline which makes zero sense because that's obviously not how HTTP works.

The sad thing is Elon regularly shows how much of a very judgmental, "I'm so smart" idiot* he is, but somehow I keep meeting people who think he's a genius. I guess the assumption that money=smart still holds true in the US, despite being disproven time and time again.

*Do we not have a single word for this concept? I come across this kind of person so frequently there really should be one.

"Muskian fraud" seems like a good term for someone who desperately claims to be a genius but can't back it up. "Trumpian fraud" seems like a good term for someone who desperately claims to be wealthy but can't back it up.

He definitely doesn't know what deduplicated means...

A pretentious asshole billionaire is going to be preaching us about massive fraud. Because he totally earned all his wealth through back breaking honest hard work. Give me a fucking break.

Tax dollars are definitely being stolen... by this unelected buffoon

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

No no, billionaires would never steal money after closing down oversight and watchdog agencies, then brazenly starting a new ''office of mysterious authority you don't get to background check that operates in the dark'' and using it to access the most sensitive parts of US government fictionallity. That's crazy talk!

The more this dipshit talks about programming the more I'm convinced that he's got absolutely no clue how any of it works. Like, he's famous for creating PayPal, I'm really wondering if he paid someone to code that shit and just took credit (and all the money from its sale).

[–] glitches_brew@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Here's a video out there where he's talking to Twitter devs telling them they need a total rewrite because their stack is too complicated.

Someone gives him the slightest amount of pushback by asking what exactly he means by a rewrite and he cannot give a coherent answer. Someone else asks him to clarify what it is about their stack that is 'crazy'. Elon gets very flustered and can only respond by calling the guy a jackass.

He knows absolutely nothing about programming.

He didn't create PayPal. He co-founded x.com, and was replaced as ceo for being inexperienced in less than a year. x.com later merged with confinity, which operated PayPal. It was at this point that musk returned as CEO, until he got kicked out again in 2000.

This retard thinks the government doesn't use SQL...

SQLite was literally invented within the US military.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 10 points 7 hours ago

[D. Richard Hipp] designed SQLite in the spring of 2000 while working for General Dynamics on contract with the United States Navy.

I'd bet that the government is probably the largest user of SQL. Unless there are really old systems that predate SQL. I'd imagine they have shitloads of COBOL for example.

He sure is loose with that r-word…

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 hours ago

His father used to call him that. Makes sense he uses it lightly.

Someone needs to explain to Musk how to debug with the JSON so that the ipv6 GUI does not overflow into the git API front-end

Where did this come from? Is this a precursor to pushing some blockchain shit or something?
