Exactly! 6 months? like what! If you already work here, just keep doing a good job. You don't have to milk it. Do a good job; and Let me worry about your job security.😂
As an IT professional for 20 years, I can assure you that a pocket knife doesn't make a whole server farm go away. And it's also stupid to go around with a pocket knife cutting wires when you can LITERALLY JUST UNPLUG THEM FROM THE RACK. You could also just cut power to the whole facility. This guy is bullshitting you. In a server farm there can be literally millions of wires connecting all the networking layers and devices. You really think Elon himself went around on Xmas eve with a pocket knife cutting every wire? Man, some people are just naive.
This story is for boomers to fantasize about how much “better” we would be without a government. Pretty ironic considering how visibly dysfunctional all of Musk’s companies are
I wonder if he just wants to make a point 😂 The server farm won’t be gone with a few cut cables, but it does drive the point home that he wants it gone.
I'm NOT saying it DID happen. But I AM saying that the aircraft U-turn could be accomplished in under 6 minutes... But cutting the cable? DONE. In under six seconds. You're welcome.
He used the knife to open a panel and disconnected cables. He told the story the way humans tell stories: couple details scrambled. The couple details don't change the story.
Hi, network professional here. I guess every story can sound good when the ending of it is not told. So here is the ending which was either cut out or not told by the old dude. Elon himself said that moving that datacenter in retrospect was a big mistake and there is still shit broken because of it over a half a year later. Also had he consulted literally ANY L3-L4 network engineer they'd tell him how bad of an idea this is and they probably did, but this is what adderall level enthusiasm does to you, kids.
From what I've been doing from what I've been reading. I think Elon is so evil. He doesn't even belong here and now Trump with all the brains of nothing, think she'd be a good person to have in our country. What the hell is Trump thinking? The ghost around comes around so I hope karma's here
... and everything STILL ended up just fine. Nice try. Musk's here to stay... unless one of you in the deep state are planning something awful, which I don't put past you...

They told him not to shut it down. He didn't listen to them. Idk why you would shut a server farm down either way. If it is already built and running. Never remove it. Update it or sell it.
Not exactly correct, this is from CNBC with references from Walter Issacsons book: "Musk turned to his security guard and asked to borrow his pocket knife. Using it, he was able to lift one of the air vents in the floor, which allowed him to pry open the floor panels.

The server was ready to be moved."
I worked at walmart several years ago, they fired half of all the comanagers at every store, hundreds of jobs gone. Nothing changed except they fired all the good ones and kept the shitty ones.
The story is wrong, it was a week before X-mas, Elon wasn’t flying he was riding a dinosaur, his bodyguards were behind him on Harleys, it wasn’t a knife. It was a light saber, that he used to cut the power to the Matrix hive to save his brother Wiwek
Yes, but he has that liberty to do that - it is his servers. If stuff did that, they would be charged for destroying property of the company. Not really fair to the pl working on those servers.
I'm so sick of this "Elon genius" BS. Like Trump watching rockets asking "was that you?" Elon doesn't even know how to fry himself an egg for breakfast, he pays people.
An other commenter elaborated that he used the knife to open a cabinet and did some other stuff to get to the cables. I don't know, I wasn't there, but I guess the speaker is simplifying the story.
You just stay as an electrician. You can absolutely cut out connection to a data farm with a knife. Theres no high voltage going thru data connections, you can absolutely cut them while connected no issue.
Network engineer here, a data centers uplinks to the network edge or 'demarcation' point will be fibre cables meaning there isn't even any electricity running through them, it's just glass and light.

Does anyone here understand the difference between "making a server farm not work anymore" and "actually getting rid of a server farm your company owns"? Apparently not.
Well shutting it down and ensuring operation without it are the first steps to get rid of it. Id guess some people had a very bad Christmas sice he shut it down before ensuring operation without it LOL
@@swiss_luri8151 If you design a system with redundancy (as you should) and then cut away the redundancy, nothing will happen of course - until something happens.😦
I can tell you one thing. No one is going to be able to use a knife to cut CAT cables. I’m just a maintenance man so I know nothing about IT but my job does involve making up CAT8 cables when installing new drives or if we lose signal because of a damaged cable. I know enough to know for a fact that a knife ain’t cutting these cables. You have to use side cuts. The conductor inside high quality Ethernet cables are made from copper. Even the cheap stuff is made from a copper coated aluminum wire so again a knife isn’t cutting through that. lol. This story is bullshit. The only thing real is the people being fired. Ha ha.
@@Bowhunterohio A standard issue cat8 Ethernet cable? Bend one cable over the sharp end of a knife than pull the knife towards the bend and the bent towards the cable. If that knife is intended for a little more than butter it'll come through.
It's a much larger more powerful entity than most of us can understand. If it was so easy, it would have been accomplished by now. They have complete control over the justice and electoral system. Not invincible though.
It’s actually against federal law to lay off a federal employee who’s been employed more than 3 years. It’s damn near impossible to fire them unless they’ve committed a felony. Even if their job becomes obsolete, they have to find SOMETHING for them, and preferably where they currently live. Congressmen get upset if a federal job leaves their district. We moved a military training facility that had 14 staff. It almost got completely derailed b/c we never thought to ask the local congressman, who pitched a fit about losing 14 jobs in his district. 14 jobs.
That's why this app a peace of garbage now. Can't send dm messages, use search bar when it six hours frezzed. Moreover sometimes each day I cannot update news feed during 30 minutes.
The guy who cut this video knows full well that story and is misrepresenting it. Its in the description. He pried open a panel with the knife to turn off the server and when nothing blew up he said it was ready to go and be moved.
Tesla laying on lots of people! He like to fire and leave employees with no warning or direction! Kinda like the president! What a wonderful duo to handle all of America!
It’s likely not his property. Most server farms are rented space. I’m not sure the specifics of Twitter but I don’t think they ever built their own facilities
It's rented space. They needed to move the servers to a cheaper facility. I guess you need to announce yourself to security if you are going in to do some repair, even if it's an emergency you should call on the way there to let them know you need access to the site.
They're turning their torches toward Elon right? 🙄 We'll expect alot more of this nonsense as they try to defame Him now. The Devil can't rest unless he's destroying somebody trying to do good.
I worked at a primary cellphone company facility. Yes, you can. Main power. Otherwise, if you went to all the cables, it'd take hours. Easier to cut main power and unplug though
@@RobertStewart-i3m I agree on turning off main power, but I mentioned you couldn't do it with a pocket knife. Not only would it be incredibly dangerous, you would almost certainly be electrocuted and killed.
Other sources will tell you he ultimately regretted it because there were thousands of hard-coded references to the Sacramento location, so it just created a lot of problems instead of swiftly fixing one. Maybe the people closest to the project actually do know what they’re talking about.
The point was trying to feel like a big man because of how weak and pathetic that idiot is and he knows it. He thinks a trillion dollars will make him not weak and pathetic because reaching 400 billion didn't work like he thought it would. Can't fix stupid no matter how many idiots call you a genius.
Nah bro X is much better X than Twitter and its not worth 80% less who are you trying to bullshit here? they have a Integrated free AI that's not tainted by the DEI woke politic correctness department, and released more features than every mainstream social media combined they are winning and sore ppl like you are losing.
Well all saw the "Day in the life of a Twitter employee" video where the girl's typical work day consisted of walking around, socializing and sipping fancy lattés all day. 😂
And getting paid around or above $100k/yr Honestly...I wish I had that job...I know it's unproductive, but I'm really anal with money so I'd have some investments lined up when the layoffs happen. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
As someone married to someone who has been in IT for over 20 years, I can honestly tell you that YOU just proved the reality, that IT people live in "the world of literal", and have hard times processing the many different nuances of human conversation. Elon did it to make a statement.
I have feeling you and your husband don’t know a darn thing about IT lol. 😂 I promise you the reason we don’t just kill a data center is because yes we can do it in 5 seconds but it could take many months if not years to stand back up. It’s called risk assessment and anyone with a good career in IT know to tell senior management NO.
Yes. The people who are objecting to this are real world idiots. They try to delay musk and musk showed how serious he was by showing he was willing to disconnect the servers himself. This is how management gets work done often when employees resist change
@@Devil_Dog_Ultra sorry dude... but you missed the whole point -AGAIN he had no intentions to "stand it back up" and Elon's not in IT... and he doesn't give a shite. People with FU money, just don't give a BS about consequences when making their point
yip that's why as a result of him firing all those people Twitter became a buggy dumpster fire and he had to re hire a bunch of people just to try slow its collapse
@mnomadvfx what weak cope is this? You must have been one of the ones fired huh? I would say go work for facebook , but they're laying thousands too. For some reason twitter and facebook are still running.

Tell me you’ve never seen the cable tray at a server farm without telling me you’ve never seen the cable tray at a server farm. There is no way he did that much damage with a pocket knife.

@@Stormstorm1 I don't have a dog in the race. But it seems Democrats don't like the change in Twitter because Republicans can now respond back instead of getting banned. It was only "fair" for those favored by the system.
Yeah, and they also have caching locations at a dozen ISPs. They got rid of half of those, and latency actually went down. Ironically, too much redundancy was causing asymmetric routing problems. Something to do with file duplication every time a receipt was missed.
As someone who is relatively proficient with computers where should I start if I want to learn more of the ins and outs of networking systems? Mainly for my own security, privacy. etc. I guess i could just ask chat gpt but I'd rather hear where and what basics to start from a human

There is no issue removing any clustered server... it's not when he switched off will it cause an issue it's when it's under loading they don't expect.... Elon removed headroom out the system....
Pretty sure a guy that can develop an entire EV vehicle production that outpaces top automotive companies, as well as build an entire successful Rocket company can handle managing a server for a bunch of whiny liberal trannies.
@@mnomadvfxso they built the backup and caching the wrong way because if you do it right then you can just shut it down in a few minutes and the other systems take over. which means the people made nonsense all day long. I wouldn’t keep them too
Although you can’t disconnect a server farm by cutting random wires with pocket knife. I bet there was power switch next to the servers. But, I suppose this does make a better story.
@@eugenejoseph7076 Would make sense if there required a surgical skill to disconnect and move a server. There either has to be more to the story, or this guy is simply bullshitting…
@@tracyhasty6506 Cancel his government contracts then. If there is only one man to appease. Most "conservatives" disapprove of government handouts. Am I right?
@@Wasted_Talent007 Your comment makes no sense. Twitter/ X is not owned by stockholders, so stockholders don't exist. Twitter/X doesn't have any government contracts. Government handouts are not contracts. What contracts are you referring to? A Government handout would be welfare, which has separated the fathers from their children, because it gives women money based on how many kids they have and are not with the fathers. It's wrecked many lives.
I don't think Elon knows how serverfarms work. You cannot "cut" the connection with a pocketknife. At least that would be the saddest design of a serverfarm in human history.
He didn’t cut anything. He used the pocket knife to open the panels. Also I’m 100% certain he knows how servers work and I’m certain he knows better than you do.
@@alexc9434Idk the guy ordered his senior dev team to print all of the Twitter code so that he could inspect it and find issues... print the code...? Like... Tens of thousands of lines of code?... You have far too much confidence in a nepo-baby that's never actually created anything. Anyone can buy companies with daddy's money. Nothing Musk has done is impressive for a mega-rich kid. All he has ever done is throw money at something until it works. Not one original thought.
There is a whole article about this, where Elon claims by him self that this was a huge mistake because still today things on twitter don’t work anymore. As an IT specialist for me Elon shows with that action that he knows nothing about IT, especially that he needs a knife to cut the cables (lwl cables are only difficult to remove for people that don’t know a fucking shit)! To think that you can migrate or shutdown a whole data Center in 6 days or 6 months is numb. I always thought that Elon knows when he didn’t know! Stick to your cars and rockets!
He destroyed Twitter and it's customers and advertisers and removed identity verification because he's nuts. Musk hates protecting his employees and is against unions and wants to mass fire people by an email. He's a robot he has no soul.
So he cut 1 cable to all the servers? Let me tell you, if he only cut one cable to shut down the server farm, it was the electrical main and he wouldn't be alive today to tell the story.
There's always somebody who understands zero about business, but can second guess proven genius. I wonder if it makes them feel like a genius, if only for a minute.
Did you pull that stat out of your ass? LOL!! X is more popular NOW than ever and since Nov 5, advertisers are coming back in droves because they know a winner when they see it!
Have I decommissioned one of the largest server farms in Los Angeles in a week? Yes. After months of the data and processing jobs being moved to different facilities. The unplugging is the easy part.
I think his point bring made here was that the data being farmed wasn't business critical... they are farming data and storing for personal gain and to sell to advertisers. So if the data isn't an issue and doesn't affect downtime of Twitter, why wouldn't he?
@@soffa93 Yes, because he doesn't want it to be a data farm. He wants to be a free speech social media platform. In him removing the data farming side of twitter will reduce overhead cost and operation costs as a whole. Not saying it was a smart business decision, but it was his business decision.
@@slyvir no, pretty sure he wants to cut costs after he made an enormous mistake and was legally obliged to buy twitter. Musk doesn't care for free speech (example: banning the elon flight map guy)
@@jsh294 Twitter has mainly made improvements after Elon bought it. There are some things I don't like, but overall it is way better. This would not happen after you fired all the construction and road workes, lol.

Bullshit story, there is not "one cable" to cut for a server farm. i can cut a dozens cable on a well designed cluster without anything failing. Stop pretending Musk is everything, from an programmer, IT-Infrastructure guy, rocket scientist and engineer. Maybe i knows a bit of everything, but thats even worse.
A lot of dependable systems carry a lot of expensive redundancy that then require expensive upkeep. You typically never learn how necessary they are or inadequate.

it's fiber and cat6, that's it. long runs of fiber go from the datacenter's drop-points, to your racks. Your 'server's are linked up to fiber switches, and cat6 panels. do you people really think we connect data ports with high-voltage lines?
@@asdfbeau You really think there's one cable coming to the servers in a data farm that can just be cut with a pocket knife? There's multiple redundancies built in at every level.

@@moden321 Its not Twitters datacenter, they rent rack space and their security would get fired for letting a non approved person in. Doesn't matter if its Musk, if hes not on the list he aint getting in. I work in a datacenter and if any of the CEOs of the companies we support or the government misters turned up and tried to force they way in like that, then security would stop them and the place would go into lock down. If we just let someone in we'd lose all our security certifications and once word of it got out no one would want to work with us, because why would i put my expensive equipment in a place that i know is not safe
@@LittleEvilGenius My point exactly. How would Elon feel if other randoms were let in without the proper checks who could have damaged his racks. Where my former company rented it was ID badge and fingerprint. Once in, I could roam near other customers racks in the section. They were locked of course but if I wanted to, I could try to tamper. Of course I did not, but point being I could have.
And has had consistent problems with stability, outages, and can't deal with legal requests, can't follow its own TOS.... Shocker, it's like having a "know it all" egotistical boy child CEO who actually has no idea what anything actually works like doesn't really work...

You just stay as an electrician. You can absolutely cut out connection to a data farm with a knife. Theres no high voltage going thru data connections, you can absolutely cut them while connected no issue.

Nothing has to be done to the servers. Just disconnect the circuits coming into the server farm.

I can tell you one thing. No one is going to be able to use a knife to cut CAT cables. I’m just a maintenance man so I know nothing about IT but my job does involve making up CAT8 cables when installing new drives or if we lose signal because of a damaged cable. I know enough to know for a fact that a knife ain’t cutting these cables. You have to use side cuts. The conductor inside high quality Ethernet cables are made from copper. Even the cheap stuff is made from a copper coated aluminum wire so again a knife isn’t cutting through that. lol. This story is bullshit. The only thing real is the people being fired. Ha ha.
@@Bowhunterohio A standard issue cat8 Ethernet cable? Bend one cable over the sharp end of a knife than pull the knife towards the bend and the bent towards the cable.

It’s actually against federal law to lay off a federal employee who’s been employed more than 3 years. It’s damn near impossible to fire them unless they’ve committed a felony.
Even if their job becomes obsolete, they have to find SOMETHING for them, and preferably where they currently live. Congressmen get upset if a federal job leaves their district.
We moved a military training facility that had 14 staff. It almost got completely derailed b/c we never thought to ask the local congressman, who pitched a fit about losing 14 jobs in his district. 14 jobs.

The pocket knife bit is a bit of a stretch.
You don’t CUT the server cables.
You simply UNPLUG them. 😎
The guy who cut this video knows full well that story and is misrepresenting it. Its in the description. He pried open a panel with the knife to turn off the server and when nothing blew up he said it was ready to go and be moved.
Unplug them? Then they can easily plugged it back. That’s why he cuts it with a knife.
Unless you don’t want them to simply plug them back in

He’s “forcing his way in” to his own property?
It’s likely not his property. Most server farms are rented space. I’m not sure the specifics of Twitter but I don’t think they ever built their own facilities
It's rented space. They needed to move the servers to a cheaper facility.
I guess you need to announce yourself to security if you are going in to do some repair, even if it's an emergency you should call on the way there to let them know you need access to the site.

Cut the fat Elon says money doesn't matter. You can't mess with him I love his attitude it's a big F U to anyone trying to tell him what to do.
Value of Twitter has only gone up. He paid what he thought free speech was worth, not what the company was worth. Check the stock price, only going up bubs.
Good for him.
Getting rid of the bloat. 👍🏼
One server was storage for ALL intercepted data for the FBI & CIA
"forced his way in"... The guy who owned it haha
They work off real-time identification, not hindsight.
@@dotconnector3889 The owner decides how they work.
And the owner can suspend any of his rules he wants to suspend.
@@moden321 Its not Twitters datacenter, they rent rack space and their security would get fired for letting a non approved person in. Doesn't matter if its Musk, if hes not on the list he aint getting in.
I work in a datacenter and if any of the CEOs of the companies we support or the government misters turned up and tried to force they way in like that, then security would stop them and the place would go into lock down. If we just let someone in we'd lose all our security certifications and once word of it got out no one would want to work with us, because why would i put my expensive equipment in a place that i know is not safe
Do you think that Twitter owned the whole Data Centre? most likely Twitter rented a number of racks in the data centre
@@LittleEvilGenius
My point exactly. How would Elon feel if other randoms were let in without the proper checks who could have damaged his racks.
Where my former company rented it was ID badge and fingerprint. Once in, I could roam near other customers racks in the section. They were locked of course but if I wanted to, I could try to tamper. Of course I did not, but point being I could have.
And now the company is worth 80% less then it was when he first got it. Why is anyone impressed by this?
And has had consistent problems with stability, outages, and can't deal with legal requests, can't follow its own TOS....
Shocker, it's like having a "know it all" egotistical boy child CEO who actually has no idea what anything actually works like doesn't really work...
Because the simps are dumber than Elon
