According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what’s going on.
He did the exact same thing after taking over Twitter, talking about “poorly batched RPCs” in the timeline which makes zero sense because that’s obviously not how HTTP works.
The sad thing is Elon regularly shows how much of a very judgmental, “I’m so smart” idiot* he is, but somehow I keep meeting people who think he’s a genius. I guess the assumption that money=smart still holds true in the US, despite being disproven time and time again.
*Do we not have a single word for this concept? I come across this kind of person so frequently there really should be one.
Dunning-Krugerist?
Perhaps you’re looking for the “appeal to money” logical fallacy, otherwise known as “argumentum ad crumenam” or “argument to the purse”. Not a single word, but it seems to fit the concept.
Charlatan?
“Muskian fraud” seems like a good term for someone who desperately claims to be a genius but can’t back it up. “Trumpian fraud” seems like a good term for someone who desperately claims to be wealthy but can’t back it up.
