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

I think you might overestimate your reading comprehension. Musk is clearly talking about specific systems here. The person I replied to is either an idiot for thinking he knows for a fact that that specific system uses SQL, or is an idiot for thinking that every government system uses SQL.

Dude, musk literally said "this retard thinks the government uses SQL". That implies that the government does not use SQL, which is false. The user you replied to said "This retard thinks that the government doesn't use SQL". This is not a claim that every government system uses SQL, or even a claim that a specific system uses SQL. The claim is simply that the government uses SQL, which is true.

If you ignore literally all context, sure.

That's not how people actually having an honest conversation work though.
