The owner of the largest and most influential media platform in all human history, Twitter, that spans all the world’s religions and all the world’s languages (Unicode) and all the nations of the world with Internet TCP/IP reach… is ADMITTING in public that there are “mind viruses” used by media networks.
Are people now seeing why Elon Musk’s $44 Billion purchase of Twitter makes sense? He is saying out loud what used to be only spoken in secret by billionaires. (Context NOTE: I used to work for 2 of the 3 richest billionaires in social media systems in the late 1990’s, I was a consultant in Bellevue Washington and was directed to give consulting advice to Bill Gates’s father (Preston Gates law firm), and I was hired to work on private staff of Paul Allen co-founder of Microsoft, my office in Bellevue was 10 doors down from Vern Raburn and Paul Allen in 1997 / I was social messaging systems manager, I had Edward Snowden level access to Microsoft Board of Directors comms)
The implications of Elon Musk disclosing that media platform owners spread “mind virus” is not getting attention - THE IMPLICATIONS of full disclosure of this on Saudi Arabia / Mecca / Rupert Murdoch global media systems, etc can NOT BE OVERSTATED!
First off, the topic is Elon Musk and “Woke Mind Virus”, and you are deflecting form that topic with low-effort pro-Musk comments.
Second, I haven’t had the source code since at least early 1990’s when I moved to Philadelphia and worked for SAP, largest software company in Europe.
By that kind of Twitter-thinking Tweet-length logic, if someone baked a cake from scratch in 1984, they would still have the cake around in 2025, because it was “from scratch” cake.

Usually, it’s a bit of wisdom from an ancient philosopher, or something a bit trite from a self-help book, but on this particular day they had written up the quote from Carl Sagan, ‘If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe’.
There are plenty of cake recipes from 1985 in books.
The topic here is Elon Musk and year 2025 and how DOGE and Elon Musk are wrecking the world using “Mind Virus” media systems / media venues of billionaires. But you want to keep changing the topic to 1985 cakes. As you have been mentally conditioned to change the subject on competitive social media systems that Elon Musk doesn’t fully control, but can still influence with his vast population of “True Believers” in DOGE / Elon Musk ambitions.
There are plenty of books that were thrown away and never kept in 1985, people do not keep everything they ever owned in their life. Especially if they move overseas to North Africa (Algeria), Middle East (Amman, Jordan), Indonesia, Malaysia, Europe (Cyprus)… and traveled in 7 different RV’s working from home all over the USA since Thanksgiving 1999.
There are plenty of apps for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 that no longer have source code.
You can go look in magazines and listings for evidence I sold the software. But you can’t seem to escape Lemmy reaction commenting behaviors of Twitter-think Twitter-length pot-shot insults for Elon Musk lovers.
