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

When Elon bought Twitter, I realised right away I'd need to close my account.
What made me hurry up exporting my data and closing the account were the reports of Elon Musk personally fucking with the systems, and the subsequent glitches and outages. Had to get it done while the site was still moderately functional.
And they just let this guy get his hands on actually important national computer infrastructure? Fucking hell.
Problem is you can't shut down your account with the government because that's your everything. That's your identity, that's your retirement, that's your unemployment. And he's been given carte blanche to fuck with it in any way he feels like by the giant orange douchebag who thinks Elmo's a fucking genius. And the Republican Congress is either unwilling or too scared shitless of his billion$ to get in his way.
