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

Just look at the military decisions Hitler made, that was luckily an incompetent guy thinking he's smarter than everyone else. That rings a bell, doesn't it?

In the long run, making less stupid decisions wouldn't most likely have changed the outcome, but even more people would likely have died (and unfortunately the people executing the murder of the Jews weren't as incompetent as their glorious leader).

A lot of behaviour in politics is emotionally driven, and sustained by the lazyness of voters not learning how the system they live in works.

If anything, I think this requires more emotional intelligence and perhaps acting skills.
