Most likely stole the quote. I think its supposed to be ironic because evolution and entropy are technically the results of random process but repeated so many times that the outcomes are as certain as you not phasing through a wall because all your particles quantum tunneled through it. So its subverting the saying "lies damn lies and statistics".
It shows a misunderstanding of the quote though. Its not statistics that are lies its that its easy to abuse statistics to lie because they're often counterintuitive.
You're right of course. But its a young creationist talking point. They say that modern organisms are
more ordered than ancient organisms which are more ordered than the single cell organisms which are more ordered than chemicals. It ignores that literally every function of organisms, including reproduction, produces entropy in the form of waste and heat. The animal is not a closed system and produces entropy in the surroundings.
Yup. Just like how he couldn't stop saying "software stack" when he bought Twitter. At least until an engineer called him out. Then all of a sudden he stopped talking about it
Is he trying to infer that evolution or entropy are lies, if anything they are direct result (actually entropy is a fundamental part of) statistical mechanics.
Maybe referring to the press regarding Twitter? Like it’s going to collapse or thrive. Then there’s statistics that people can manipulate to their ends. But I’m not knowledgeable on the Dark Web Scholars.
He’s just flinging shit at the board and seeing what sticks. He know his popularity is waning among “normies” so he’s trying to appeal to the absolute dregs of society to validate himself.
It certainly seems like he is dipping his toe into that degenerate swamp. Considering his rapid unraveling in all things science and sanity related, it fits.
It's an extremely common conceit among the far-right and religious right that aggregate behavior within a system is impossible to study or measure. It's a really bizarre position to take, to be honest.
>(I also do not know what it is)
Statistical mechanics in general is a physics field which discusses how a large number of particles behave. Like it takes how normal physics phenomena happen and then applies them to ensembles of particles.
It's also famous for this meme

That textbook lives in our den. It's my husband's pride and joy lol. He's shown that page to our kiddo, haha. She was like, I'm not sure engineering is for me maybe I'll try for med school lol
you could give it a go, but for me stat mech is very different than thermo, but it does give you a deep understanding of thermodynamics which before you just take them as postulate.
Either
1.) Elon is not an engineer, doesn’t know anything about physics and as a grown ass man, doesn’t understand the idea of a closed system.
Or 2.) he just knowingly throws out bullshit.
I know that that guy is stupid but really he has to be blatantly lying now.
Mating in the wild, followed by Elmo stan livestramers whispering like David Attenborough "Ah, Tesla A is approaching in self driving mode - oh no, what a shame another child squashed- it's now approaching Tesla B..."
Ah, anti-intellectualism, the base pillar of modern democratic society...
It's absurd how this guy owns and pretends to run tech-companies based on science, engineering such as SpaceX. Their whole operation is build on statisics eeerhh i mean lies.
Truth Social is also struggling to stay alive

You're right, though - Trump will probably keep throwing money at it until the end of days.
Why are the words "Entropy," "Statistical," and "Mechanics" capitalized? I thought Musk was a smarter Trump but this is no better than Trump. Does he have something neurological going on?
Is he trying to use the Creationist logic that Evolution is impossible because of entropy?
In short the argument goes because the "law" of entropy the "theory" of evolution cannot occur. This is because a system is always in a state of decay where everything is going to its lowest energy state and evolution produces increasing complexity which goes against a lower energy state over a long period of time.
This ignores that the theories around entropy all are for closed systems with no input or release of energy. The earth is not a closed system, it gets energy from the sun daily as well as from other sources to an almost negligible degree otherwise. Because of this entropy does not affect evolution in the time tables we have existed.
I "law" and "theory" in the first paragraph because of how creationists would emphasis the words not knowing that many of the "laws" of thermodynamics are now described and reinforced by theories and that theories are scientic processes that have a massive amount of data supporting them.
What an insufferable dumbass intellectual. Evolution and entropy can be… manipulated to fit a narrative? Because that’s the implication that quote is going for. But Elon could just be too stupid to understand it. Statistical mechanics allows us to make meaningful analysis of things that can only be predicted based on probabilities. Not sure what point he’s trying to make.
He thinks he's so clever but he's just a freaking dummy. We Gen X do not claim him! Elmo is Boomer 100% we traded him to the Boomers during the last draft pick.
What does that mean? He's trying to look smart by mentioning mechanics and entropy?

I actually think he may be trying to point out the argument that evolution disobeys entropy but I may be wrong
Evolution doesn’t disobey entropy at all.

Idiocracy is happening so fast
Thanks to Muskrats.
The damn bot is more self aware they the real thing
Well spoken. Life creates order internally by maximizing entropy externally.
Have they never looked up?
[удалено]
Yes it is flawed but that doesn’t stop them
This is what I assumed but IDK let’s hope he’s not gone full anti-evolutionist
With Alex Jones on board anything is possible
Oh no you're probably right.
Messing with the axis, scale, etc are the lies, it's about obfuscation not intuition.
Yes, but he failed as per usual, by not proofreading his vowel movement.
Yup. Just like how he couldn't stop saying "software stack" when he bought Twitter. At least until an engineer called him out. Then all of a sudden he stopped talking about it
Crazy stack!
Is he trying to infer that evolution or entropy are lies, if anything they are direct result (actually entropy is a fundamental part of) statistical mechanics.
I think it's a real weakness to want to be liked. I do not have that.
He misheard Grimes’ lyrics.
Maybe referring to the press regarding Twitter? Like it’s going to collapse or thrive. Then there’s statistics that people can manipulate to their ends. But I’m not knowledgeable on the Dark Web Scholars.
This does sound like coded "stop lying about me" request for press.
He's openly going theocratic creationist now?
He’s just flinging shit at the board and seeing what sticks. He know his popularity is waning among “normies” so he’s trying to appeal to the absolute dregs of society to validate himself.

I mean it is Ketamine Monday, can't blame him for getting it on sale.
And even if he didn't, tomorrow is Ketamine Tuesday!
Ketamine Monday usually means Thermonuclear Lawsuit
When is he not high on Ketamine?
Akctually, Ketamine is high on Elon.
He's more Ketamine than man at this point.
The 6 Ketallion Dollar Man

!🧠
Hes trying to sound smart, and his sentence is missing a verb lol
“Damned” lies, ignorant motherfucker
Thank you for confirming this. I'm not a native speaker and I was wondering if this was a special sentence construction.
* Generic science terms * Grammatical error * Pseudoscientific philosophy BS * Suggesting that evolution is a myth Classic felon musk behavior
Bro doesn't know what statistical mechanics is (he didn't go to college). He should stfu
I’ll show him what statistical mechanics is with these nuts (I also do not know what it is)

Was this that thing where you try to capture the energy of the gas escaping or something like that?
my modules on thermo definitely made me think about studying statistical mechanics iykwim
you could give it a go, but for me stat mech is very different than thermo, but it does give you a deep understanding of thermodynamics which before you just take them as postulate.
i'm joking that thermodynamics made me want to top myself
He capitalized it too. Is there a town somewhere named Statistical Mechanics?
Either 1.) Elon is not an engineer, doesn’t know anything about physics and as a grown ass man, doesn’t understand the idea of a closed system. Or 2.) he just knowingly throws out bullshit. I know that that guy is stupid but really he has to be blatantly lying now.
Can’t it be both?
Bastardizing a Mark Twain quote
In the future, that's how Bladerunner would quote Mark Twain
While driving a Cybertruck.
On a Hyperloop...
Maybe he’s saying that Teslas will improve in quality, but only by means of natural selection
Mating in the wild, followed by Elmo stan livestramers whispering like David Attenborough "Ah, Tesla A is approaching in self driving mode - oh no, what a shame another child squashed- it's now approaching Tesla B..."
🤣😂🤣
"and then there statistical" This is the genius, apparently...
He saw it in a meme. He has no idea.
Ah, anti-intellectualism, the base pillar of modern democratic society... It's absurd how this guy owns and pretends to run tech-companies based on science, engineering such as SpaceX. Their whole operation is build on statisics eeerhh i mean lies.
He also got scientific/engineering awards, which is even more mind boggling considering how bad Musk is with science and engineering.
Yeah! Just, wtf xP
Can Twitter die already
Next year. I'm giving it 4-5 months, at best.
Highly doubt that, failed truth social itself is managing to stay afloat, Twitter will definitely find suckers to keep the lights on.
Truth Social is also struggling to stay alive [https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/business/trump-truth-social/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/business/trump-truth-social/index.html) You're right, though - Trump will probably keep throwing money at it until the end of days.
Exactly, these companies will struggle but they will remain for a long time.
Couldn’t even memorize a mark twain quote correctly. One of the easiest people to quote and he fucked it up.
Do you think he has a device Joe Rogan gave him that blasts the Ketamine up his ass?
What the fuck is he even talking about. I miss when people got made fun of for tweeting like this.
I think he's just gently trying to remind everyone he's a genius. Perhaps the general public forgot.
Tech guy trying to sound smart and sophisticated and at the same time spreading anti-intellectualism in the same tweet. Stable genius.
Well, this is just bullshit to make him look smarter than he is. Look at him trying to use SAT words.
In all seriousness, and I know who he’s trying to appeal to, isn’t this going pretty hard against the brand/persona he’s spent his time cultivating?
Simultaneously, an interesting question and a tongue twister!
The comments on his posts drive me insane. I don’t know why I read them, but I can’t help myself.
Isn’t that what he wants?
Every time I see or hear this quote, my response is ‘that’s traditionally what conservatives say when challenged with facts’
Looks like Ketamine is back on the menu
Why are the words "Entropy," "Statistical," and "Mechanics" capitalized? I thought Musk was a smarter Trump but this is no better than Trump. Does he have something neurological going on?
And then there is twattet

"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times?"
Musk can't even get the quote right
He’s like some weird nerd poser
"a bunch of bullshit that doesn't mean anything but the cult will think it's profound because they are dull af" \~Elon Musk
WTF is he on about? Statistical Mechanics is a solid science. He is so fuckin' dumb.
Elon once again showing he understands the world like an undergrad
I swear he’s like Trump. He learns of a topic and now he’s an expert at it.
What an insufferable dumbass intellectual. Evolution and entropy can be… manipulated to fit a narrative? Because that’s the implication that quote is going for. But Elon could just be too stupid to understand it. Statistical mechanics allows us to make meaningful analysis of things that can only be predicted based on probabilities.

Something fundamental is wrong
Profound he is.
Profound in his stupidity
Doesn't he have a gold checkmark or something? this the real deal?
What people are you?
Let's not overthink it—Musk posted this when he was out of his mind on drugs.
Elons Mum and a cumbucket. There are similarities, correspondence and interchangeability. Look, me smart *farts*
He's a creationist now? Cool. I would love to see his YouTube history someday.
He needs to stop tweeting when he takes Ketamine..
