Has he not actually seen Office Space? Does he not know that the guys going "what woud you say you actually do here" are the clueless consultants who don't really understand how the business works? Or am I the one who is either misremembering, or fallen out of touch with what memes mean these days?
- rsynnott 4y agoThis happens a lot; something quotable is eventually shorn of its original context and used completely inappropriately. A much older example is "neither a borrower nor a lender be", repeated as a wise proverb, from Shakespeare no less! The generally-ignored context is that Shakespeare put it in the mouth of Polonius, a character whose apparent role it is to be wrong about everything.

- masklinn 4y agoThis is a running theme for Musk, he rarely seems to understand the logic of what he posts, just randomly regurgitating them like a meme-based chinese room, then preening when he gets praised by the "meme community" or one of his simps.
