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

    As much as I hate to say Elon might be right… The problem is that critical parts of the US government run on systems older than his goon squad. There’s actual COBOL in use, right now today, by the US government.

    If Elon could fix the actual problem without being a dick about it all, no one would have a problem with any of this.

      You’d be shocked to hear that much the same is true of many or even MOST of the world’s largest companies.
