SQL is a language used to format requests to most relational and nonrelational databases. Databases are extremely commonly used for data persistence and retrieval. It's like saying the government doesn't use binary - or the government doesn't use TCP - or the government doesn't use paper. It uses all these things in abundance.

In the 90s we had "See you on the flippity flip" - it's almost certainly genuine and talking to folks in the language they more commonly use because that's how pop culture pops.

SpaceX was the leading private space company before he acquired it - it has actually lost ground to competitors since then but has an extremely passionate team behind it.

Tesla was the first company to seriously take a swing at automated response with an eye to FSD - they've since fallen far behind Waymo and other competitors.

When Musk worked at PayPal Thiel described him as a crazy risk taker and had him ousted as CEO while he was on two weeks of PTO for his honeymoon.

Musk is a huge fucking dumbass with enough money to fail horribly over and over.

Elon doesn't think the government uses SQL. He's dumb as fucking rocks.

It is - though it may be fair to consider it jargon. It is a word that explicitly means "Can be set aflame" as chosen by people working with hazardous materials.

A formal diagnosis. I know narcissistic is thrown around quite a bit but I prefer to use the term self-centered when not talking about NPD as I have a relative with NPD as one of many comorbid disorders.

Seeded is, indeed, the most worthless of adjectives.

 

Just a sanity check here but... yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they've forgotten a thing you talked about... until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
