I’m a tech interested guy. I’ve touched SQL once or twice, but wasn’t able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn’t understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I’d love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

    Indeed, that’s a possibility, but I’m not privy to the structure of the social security administration’s databases so I couldn’t say if it was indeed the case.

      Thats how I feel too.

      Lol, I’d love to see the data hes trying to speak about (not that that’d be any kind of concerning for privacy /s). I don’t think he’s outright lying, but it definitely feels like a misrepresentation / wrong conclusion from the data.

      But thanks for your part in helping me understand all this!
