According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what’s going on.

I bet he thinks SQL = MS SQL Server. And nothing else in the front end.
This sounds just like a former manager that thought nosql was the end all and that SQL had no place.
If course they developed their app that required frequent data migrations because they were in fact very dependent on all the records matching the latest schema.
It’s hard to figure out what he’s talking about , when he says the “whole social security database”. Like in which tables are they duplicated? Does it mean the entire row is duplicated or just the SSN, it might make sense to be duplicated depending on the schema. Is it an append only db, so there might be updated columns on the same ssn and you need to filter by the latest update timestamp? Who knows.
But also, saying that there’s a “social security database” and then following that up by the govt “doesn’t use SQL” so… the db is actually just a spreadsheet? A .txt file? The SSNs are just written down in someone’s notebook? Lol
Isn’t it a payments database? One client could have multiple payments. You wouldn’t expect client IDs to be unique
Tax dollars are definitely being stolen… by this unelected buffoon
It’s going to be so expensive to fix all the damage this government is doing when America next has sensible government
So many skills lost, so many systems broken
Everything Elon has ever said could be a top post in r/iamverysmart or r/confidentlyincorrect
Ok genuine question, what is the difference between a SQL database and a simple Excel spreadsheet?

The worst kind of stupid doesn’t need to learn about databases because it’s just common sense.

thought the replies would be better. Some people deducted that it uses plain text.
Elon starting to comment on technical matters was the moment I learned he was actually completely beyond incompetent, since I have some actual expertise on the subject. Right around the time he bought Twitter and commented publicly on its architecture.
This is further evidence to that point
He’s the Steven Segal of futurism
Now i Really want to see The Dipshit run.
His response to the 2018 Thai Cave rescue is what made me realize how big of a shit stain on society he is.
That man will be doing to same thing to important shit right now.

Musk doesn’t understand database design (or the existence of
PRIMARY KEY ()), surprise.
