According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.
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.
He is a fraud gamer. He is almost definitely a fraud coder.
Sure as hell did when I worked there
if this troglodyte says it doesn't you can be sure that it does.
The worst kind of stupid doesn't need to learn about databases because it's just common sense.
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.
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."
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.
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.
I'm not american but how exactly is making your name match birth certificate denying women's rights?
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...
You know, the thing that always seemed really scary about the OG Nazis is that they were competent, intelligent, put-together people that were just fucking evil. Then you look at the US Nazis and the fucking bozo density is off the charts, but they seem to be succeeding anyway.
Three possibilities come to mind:
It's absolutely the second one. They basically all had brain damage from ww1 (who knew explosions are bad for you) and several of them including Hitler were drugged the fuck up. Julius Streicher was a clown, but not like a funny or sad clown, more like pathetic, like honestly comparable to someone from 8chan. Goebbels was a creepy loser. Hitler was a meth addict with ibs and anger issues who spent his last days just destroying the air quality of the bunker he would die in and kept invading countries despite already being at war. Heidrich died by personally chasing after antifascists who happened to have a grenade. And that's not touching on their archeological or spiritual beliefs which are on par with qanon for believability and sensibility
the OG Nazis were dumb as bricks lmao. Weird nerds with massive egos half of which believed in magic.
Hitler and Himmler believed in "World Ice Theory" which was put forth by some German crackpot who stated the base matter of all reality was ice.
The OG Nazis were actually bozos too, they just had very good propaganda. So good that you're still seeing the effects today.
Just look at the military decisions Hitler made, that was luckily an incompetent guy thinking he's smarter than everyone else. That rings a bell, doesn't it?
In the long run, making less stupid decisions wouldn't most likely have changed the outcome, but even more people would likely have died (and unfortunately the people executing the murder of the Jews weren't as incompetent as their glorious leader).
Everything uses SQL. The world fucking runs on SQL
(yes I know SQL isn't something that you can "run" something on yadda yadda...)
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.
DROP TABLE Musk
Little Bobby tables, we call him
