Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his ā€œfanboysā€ who have attempted to use the billionaireā€™s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.

    Did he even get a real degree?

    Iā€™m not convinced he even knows how to code, if we are being honest.

            Think of it like this:

            ā€œThis r**ard thinks the government uses PAPER [SQL]ā€ - Elon Musk

            It is literally that standard and common and obviously in use in the government.

            (SQL is just a computer language for dealing with data and databases)

            SQL is a language used to format requests to most relational and nonrelational databases. Databases are extremely commonly used for data persistence and retrieval. Itā€™s like saying the government doesnā€™t use binary - or the government doesnā€™t use TCP - or the government doesnā€™t use paper. It uses all these things in abundance.

        I know how to code and during my career, Iā€™ve worked with people that could only barely do it, mostly relied on others to carry their weight, and often would fail upwards into management track stuff, usually done as a defensive strategy to get them away from doing damage hands-on. Of course, some of them effectively did MORE damage later by doing incredibly bone-headed things because some of them suffered from extreme arrogance and Dunning-Kruger.

        Watching fElon in his takeover of Twitter and turning it into xitter, I was not paying too close of attention, but the level of chaos and performative bullshit seemed to be terrible at both a management/ownership level and on a technical one.
