This reminds me a lot of what they said about Trump in the White House. Everything kind of revolved around him and his decision making, with people from everywhere vying for his attention, with different groups attempting to gain favor by implementing different things, and being allotted different time and power.
I'm sorry, but it just sounds like the bureaucracy is struggling to understand what it's like when you have a central figure in power, and not a procedural, bureaucratic, technocracy. Power is just handled differently when some one person is in charge.
They don't get it.
Also, I don't believe that anyone ran fake scripts on his computer to look like code.
I actually ran continual pings on spare monitors to specific servers in order to prove that they were still running, and that was more than enough to convince people that something important was happening, and normally I'd just have to explain to them what I was doing and why it was important. If Elon really wanted to, he could do it himself.
Seriously, just open notepad / an ide with some code loaded and it looks more like coding than some script that automatically generates new lines.
Well of course, they are used to the Dems (and Bushs) being president. Where its just a figurehead for a council of elites who actually run the show behind them.
I thought exactly the same as you did after reading the post. These people just don't get human behavior. They've been coddled by hyper-socialization and indoctrinated by a collectivist, bureaucratic view of how society works. The managerial state has built upon itself over multiple generations to the degree that it's become a self-sustaining machine with written and unwritten rules for every role, and if something doesn't follow those rules it's thrown out as politically incorrect, toxic, out of control, and doomed to failure. They actually like being cogs that fit in where everything just works a certain way. They can't imagine working directly under a strong captain who directly guides every motion of the ship - pre-conceived rules be damned - and where employees do their best to try to please the captain or at least give him 90% of what he wants. "You can't do this!" "It's unseemly."
That's all assuming good faith, which I don't necessarily in this post, but there are many such cases.
It's a slave mentality, but it's not a slave to a master, but a process itself.
If I didn't know better, I'd say the machines themselves were grooming people into being more controllable. They're not even obeying specific people, just the procedure, process, algorithm, or rules.
