"Musk is probably confusing 'SQL' with 'Microsoft SQL Server'"
The Social Security Administration uses Microsoft SQL Server too.
The agency's ODS's and data warehouses don't run on SQL Server, but SSA has a massive Sharepoint intranet that runs on ... a Microsoft SQL Server cluster.

Apparently there’s a “kickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.
Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.

This is what I’ve been thinking too although I think one perspective is that the republican congress is in agreement with the executive’s actions. Until they’re not. (I understand we may not make it that far but there’s an argument that that point is when our constitutional republic ceases)

What about what Musk is up to? Far more dangerous than simply tanking the economy.
