Elon Musk Ending SNL Skit: 'Chad on Mars'

Spoiler alert:::

Chad is on the Mars based (kek) colony which is hitting critical o2 levels and CHAD must turn on the o2 generator before it runs out. The O2 generator is outside the biodome, and is coached by Space X and given instructions to pull of the dangerous op., and due to the radiation(?) levels outside the dome, he could possibly perish. Chad goes out to the generator, releases the valve, and saves the day. Elon congratulates him for ensuring the survival of the Mars mission colony, and televises the stream to congratulated him, broadcasted to the entire globe. At this moment, Chad takes off the pressurized helmet and his face explodes. Elon Musk says "Well, I did say people were going to die…I'm out of here"

Interdasting parts: Important to know Elon is no regular dude. This guy is a fukking genius, the likes of which we haven't seen before. At the moment he said "I did say people were going to die" (a reference to the many times he speaks of the Mars mission, in which he says it will be a one way mission (at first, obviously)), but maybe Anons can help me dig.

Also, when he says this exact phrase @3:00/3:19min into the sketch, a terminal window pops up on the screen, (help me anons i have limited knowledge of Linux) in which they are using DNF commands to install some packages, dependencies, images, etc.

The crazy part is the terminal has a link to an IPFS url, specifically "https://ipfs.io/ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dg9vawh923w"

This link brings up an error "ipfs resolve -r /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dg9vawh923w: not a valid proquint string"

could be nothing, but interesting…

I never knew what IPFS was. It stands for Inter Planetary File System, and from the website, it is

"IPFS powers the Distributed Web

A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol

designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open."

The wiki does a good job explaining it, but interestingly, I found an incident from 2019 in which a botnet malware based on IPFS was released…From wiki

"The IPStorm botnet, first detected in June 2019, uses IPFS, so it can hide its command-and-control amongst the flow of legitimate data on the IPFS network.[17] Security researchers had worked out previously the theoretical possibility of using IPFS as a botnet command-and-control system.[18][19]"

Hope this post is of some substance. I dont really know what it means, but will continue to dig.

From an article in zdnet.com

"Dubbed IPStorm (kek) – short for InterPlanetary Storm – by its cyber-criminal operators, the campaign was discovered in May. It's possible that the author has taken inspiration for the name from Storm – a P2P worm campaign that became notorious after it first emerged in 2007. It's not known who the author of IPStorm is or where they are operating from, but the malware has a 'reverse shell' functionality that can allow hackers to execute any arbitrary PowerShell code on the infected machine."
