Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
People who know how to code are in agreement that he has no clue.
Elon doesnāt think the government uses SQL. Heās dumb as fucking rocks.
What does that mean? I donāt understand the reference about SQL.
Think of it like this:
āThis r**ard thinks the government uses PAPER [SQL]ā - Elon Musk
It is literally that standard and common and obviously in use in the government.
(SQL is just a computer language for dealing with data and databases)
SQL is a language used to format requests to most relational and nonrelational databases. Databases are extremely commonly used for data persistence and retrieval. Itās like saying the government doesnāt use binary - or the government doesnāt use TCP - or the government doesnāt use paper. It uses all these things in abundance.
I know how to code and during my career, Iāve worked with people that could only barely do it, mostly relied on others to carry their weight, and often would fail upwards into management track stuff, usually done as a defensive strategy to get them away from doing damage hands-on. Of course, some of them effectively did MORE damage later by doing incredibly bone-headed things because some of them suffered from extreme arrogance and Dunning-Kruger.
Watching fElon in his takeover of Twitter and turning it into xitter, I was not paying too close of attention, but the level of chaos and performative bullshit seemed to be terrible at both a management/ownership level and on a technical one.
