Does anyone really believe Elon Musk doesn’t understand basic RDBMS theory? Seems like troll-bait to me.

  I see no indication in his education background any understanding of computer science

      That’s true. But what evidence do you have that he did?

      That's like saying Physics was mostly invented by people who didn't have an education background in physics. But smart people like Newton and Leibniz figured this out. Sure, with knowledge being so readily available anyone smart and motivated enough can figure out almost anything. But it doesn't make formal education redundant.

  Oh 100%. You should listen to a call he had with twitter engineers where he talks about software as if he's never written it before. Then when someone merely asks questions, Elon calls him an asshole.

    I'd be curious to read the true account of how his personality has changed in the last 25 years. He clearly has more wealth than his persona suggests he deserves, and I wonder from where he started. At this point, he clearly doesn't have to care, but was there a shift into that?

  If you follow him on X, you know that while he has a lot of knowledge in other areas, he has no idea about computer science or engineering.

  At this point, I think it's just a glee at trashing and taking people down.

  I'm not sure why you'd think he _would_? Like, he's not a software engineer, and everything he's ever publicly said about software engineering seems profoundly confused.
