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

He used to be regarded as tony stark. Nah he is Justin Hammer. Steals ideas implements them shit and has no idea about anything
Whenever Elon speaks of programming, he just spouts the most delusional Point-Haired Boss bullshit imaginable. Truly, he has been promoted to the level of his incompetence.
(It is also highly ironic considering the Dilbert creator’s politics.)
“Our databases only store in RAM because I AM THE ELECTRICITY BATTERY MASTER”
Musk seems to think Musk is a tech genius, but really he was just born into money and used it to buy a bunch of companies. In fairness he was able to recognise which companies to buy, doesn’t mean he knows anything about databases though.

I think this is just survivorship bias. There are millions of wealthy individuals investing in companies every single day. Occasionally these gambles pay off and make people extremely wealthy.
Most of the time the people who succeed just spend their incredibe wealth and live a quiet happy life.
But there are others who crave attention. These individuals bully their way into prestigious positions and pretend that they’re leading the company.
Elon is that kind of person. He started wealthy, bet his money on companies that succeeded. Then took the CEO role so he would get credit for the companys’ successes.
If ever people dare stop paying attention to him he’ll do something drastic to recapture the spotlight on.
He’s the kind of person who will stand on stage and do a nazi salute just because he wants you to look at him.
He also apparently watched a lot of SeaQuest DSV, and is trying to make it a reality. Hyperloop: SeaQuest. Electric cars: SeaQuest. Big car dashboard screens: SeaQuest. Magic Space Science: SeaQuest. CyberTruck…Apple Mouse ADB gen 1-ish wrapped in aluminum foil. I guess what I find most fascinating is that I have similar mental maladies to him, but I learned instead of just being perpetually dumb. It is actually disappointing that he chose to not learn and just ride the walrus instead. No idea why anyone worships him.
dis what you get for working with 19 year old kids with inflated egos whom you only hired to worship you. Also when someone who is not an expert in a field has the confidence to make grand claims about practices in that field, it is a very nice litmus paper telling you that person is generally bullshitting.
As someone who does systems administration which includes numerous government owned database servers, this is news to me.
REAL GOVERNMENTS USE EXCEL SHEETS /j
Wasn’t it the uk or something that messed up a vote due to excel’s row limit?
The only ‘transparency’ he’s shown is screenshots of basic spreadsheets that don’t actually clarify anything. His minions are just sending him spreadsheets extracted from systems they don’t understand, and he’s just making decisions based on whether the title of the program sounds woke or not.
It’s going to be fun when he fucks with some Wall Street Equity fund’s money.
I think it was something to do with COVID stats during the initial outbreak, but yes, yes it was the UK government and their bizarre love affair with stupid tech choices.
Calling someone a retard for believing something that’s obviously true is straight out of the flat-Earther playbook.
Oh, I’m calling it now. This one is going to be used as an attack of trans people. Throw out the archaic and manual process of updating names in federal databases, and keep it simple by making the records immutable. Then hit them with a lovely
“You MUST use your REAL NAME (MAIDEN NAME) on government forms. If the name does not match, you will be denied.”
There are already attempts to make it so your name has to match your birth certificate in order to vote.
Targets both trans rights and women’s rights, simultaneously.
They already stopped providing passports to trans people, even if they’re willing to use their old name and gender. And I’m sure that policy will end up hurting women that changed their name after marriage as well, it anyone that changed their name for whatever reason.
Sure as hell did when I worked there
if this troglodyte says it doesn’t you can be sure that it does.
That sounds surprising modern. That’s good! Or at least I would think it is good. So many things run on mainframes still.
51 year old SQL sounding surprisingly modern for government tracks.
I remember seeing this after he bought Twitter
Storms I hope that’s true.
I kind of doubt it. It’s been known that he’s a fraud of a coder for a while, that seems like a clear riff.
Enough that I was really disappointed when Some More News talked about Zip2 like he was the sole founder and therefore must have been good at coding at some point.
Btw, the guy he and his brother founded the company with died at 51.
As a megarich techie… With the dirt on Elon’s real capabilities.
Interesting.
IIRC they kicked him out of PayPal because he wanted to run everything on windows instead of the Unix/Linux servers they were running on. And the reason for it was because he couldn’t figure out Linux.
He is a fraud gamer. He is almost definitely a fraud coder.
DROP TABLE Musk
Little Bobby tables, we call him
Everything uses SQL. The world fucking runs on SQL
(yes I know SQL isn’t something that you can “run” something on yadda yadda…)
Tell that to the person who implemented Tetris in Postgresql.
Eh ECS is basically all about making
SELECT ... FROM bar, baz WHERE bar.id == baz.id, joins on primary keys, as fast as possible and use it as often as possible. Games are real-time databases with gaudy user interfaces so it stands to reason that posgresql is a game with a bland user interface.That is bananas! The implementation details are worth a read. Plus, all the links to other bananas projects are great.
Isn’t Oracle a big government supplier with millions if not billions worth of contracts?
Elon is a fraud but for someone who claims he created one of the Web’s first e-commerce sites this level of ignorance is embarrassing
He paid some people to pretend he’s the founder, then used that title to build a reputation of being genius and what not. And he’s been getting rich off of investor capitol ever since.
I don’t know which company he did and didn’t start himself. But I know he definitely didn’t write the code behind ebay or paypal
His first venture was a business directory on the internet (ie. The yellow pages, but online). No idea if he or this brother actually wrote any code for it, or if they hired someone. Wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t do any actual work for that project either.
He came from some hella rich parents, and he does not have the skills. I doubt it was his work
Elon is basically what a dumb kid thinks smart people sound like
Replace “dumb kid” with half dozen of my boomer relatives, and you’re spot-on.
and the dumb kids, unfortunately. I did a spot with some non-US teenagers, in a class recently. The topic was “name a person you admire and why”. Guess whose filthy name came up…
