According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what’s going on.
He did the exact same thing after taking over Twitter, talking about “poorly batched RPCs” in the timeline which makes zero sense because that’s obviously not how HTTP works.
The sad thing is Elon regularly shows how much of a very judgmental, “I’m so smart” idiot* he is, but somehow I keep meeting people who think he’s a genius. I guess the assumption that money=smart still holds true in the US, despite being disproven time and time again.
*Do we not have a single word for this concept? I come across this kind of person so frequently there really should be one.
He definitely doesn’t know what deduplicated means…
A pretentious asshole billionaire is going to be preaching us about massive fraud. Because he totally earned all his wealth through back breaking honest hard work. Give me a fucking break.
Tax dollars are definitely being stolen… by this unelected buffoon
The more this dipshit talks about programming the more I’m convinced that he’s got absolutely no clue how any of it works. Like, he’s famous for creating PayPal, I’m really wondering if he paid someone to code that shit and just took credit (and all the money from its sale).
This retard thinks the government doesn’t use SQL…
I’d bet that the government is probably the largest user of SQL. Unless there are really old systems that predate SQL. I’d imagine they have shitloads of COBOL for example.
Where did this come from? Is this a precursor to pushing some blockchain shit or something?
He sure is loose with that r-word…
Someone needs to explain to Musk how to debug with the JSON so that the ipv6 GUI does not overflow into the git API front-end

No thanks, that alone says you’re not going to get an honest unbiased discussion. Also when your evidence is “according to many comments” from a app filled with people that hate Musk with all their being as if it’s their entire identity, it’s not good evidence.
Being a developer who has done work for many governments in my country, you cannot just say “the government DOES use SQL” because they have many, many, MANY different systems that have all been built in different technologies over different decades by different people with different design philosophies and preferences. Will there be ones that use SQL? Absolutely. Will there be ones that don’t? Absolutely.
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.
That man will be doing to same thing to important shit right now.
He got community-noted for being wrong. Per usual, it’s only a matter of time before he deletes his post.
Sounds like he got confused looking at a view of a join.
SELECT holder_name, amount FROM account JOIN transaction ON transaction.account_id=account.id; -- WTF!! THERE'S DUPLICATES!!!
