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

Is it also a case of survivorship bias? Like, I am not super versed in Nazi history, but... There are famous "smart" Nazis like Goebbels and Himmler and Speer - are they only well known because a) they slowly emerged as influential and/or b) it became clear years later that they were the ones behind the wheel?
'Cause I do think that trump and musk are dumb as bricks, but I don't think Steve Bannon is, and there are probably others like him..
Don't forget Von Braun...
I'm no expert, but this podcast series seems to suggest Von Braun was mainly very focused on shooting rockets to the moon and fiddling the right guys to get crazy amounts of funding for that goal. I'm not saying he wasn't a nazi, he was, but exterminating jews etc was probably not his mean focus in life... In the Von Braun case it was propaganda towards his own leaders, to get lots of money. The reason he's well remembered is not propaganda but because what he tried actually worked out very well and was the basis for pretty much every rocket since. If he'ld happen to live in Soviet Russia, he would probably have become a member of the communist party, whatever would get him more money/free labor for shooting new trials towards space.
Stalin had a nasty habit of putting some of his best designers into gulags. Von Braun probably would have ended up in one of them.

Stop carrying water for Nazis, liberal.
Even fucking Forbes thinks it makes you a clown.
Von Braun had a choice where he went to go. He chose the state with segregation and not the one with your "infinite labor supply" that beat America into orbit because he was a fucking Nazi.

What got President Musk & his sidekick elected, or rather what made their campaign successful?
Low IQ but high emotional intelligence or like sociopathic intelligence?
