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

right I did hear the lifelock guy had to get a new SSN, and also Hilda Schrader Whitcher who's SSN was 078-05-1120 and needed to be reissued after her SSN was used as a placeholder in wallets. These seemed to be very uncommon though, and not something I'd expect most systems to be able to handle.
