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

Seemingly every interaction this man has with a normal person is him finding newer and more interesting ways of declaring himself an absolute moron.

How the fuck is he the de facto president of the USA?

Well, the president represents the people...

Also that's not how deduplication works.

He means/thinks that SSN is not unique (which is not a problem, just different design).

Of course he's wrong about lots of stuff, just the nerd in me could not not explain it.

I imagine he’s looking at a payments table where there is a non-unique key to relate a citizen to each payment.

I've worked on projects for the government as a contractor. There is SQL; SQL as far as the eye can see. I'm sure the NSA has some novel solutions to crunching shittons of big data, but day to day, at least in my experience, it is a lot of relational CRUD and reporting queries.

For the curious, it does clearly exist:

I'm sure he has an alternative, like tattooing it on the forearms of 'undesirables'.
