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

Isn’t Oracle a big government supplier with millions if not billions worth of contracts?

Elon is a fraud but for someone who claims he created one of the Web’s first e-commerce sites this level of ignorance is embarrassing

He paid some people to pretend he's the founder, then used that title to build a reputation of being genius and what not. And he's been getting rich off of investor capitol ever since.

I don't know which company he did and didn't start himself. But I know he definitely didn't write the code behind ebay or paypal

His first venture was a business directory on the internet (ie. The yellow pages, but online). No idea if he or this brother actually wrote any code for it, or if they hired someone. Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't do any actual work for that project either.

He came from some hella rich parents, and he does not have the skills. I doubt it was his work
