These people are really fucking stupid. Musk said confidently that the government doesn't use SQL.

I don't think you specifically are doing it out of praise and glorification but people love mythologize tech people. Jeff Bezos is actually incredibly smart holding multiple degrees and, by account a savvy businessman... Musk is a fucking idiot that lucked into money, has terrible ideas and acumen, won the lottery with PayPal and has built a castle of lies to sustain his wealth.

If the purchase was done with intention to propagandize it certainly wasn't that ass clown's idea.

He absolutely is a fascist though - but most of his ideas are probably just regurgitated from Peter Thiel.
