According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what’s going on.

Nah, they are supposed to be unique. If it was that it’d at least be a design choice potentially worthy of criticism. But consider, who’s more likely to have fucked up a database task: Musk? Or the designer, someone with a degree (a real degree) on this topic?
Don’t worry: since he’s so big on transparency, I’m sure he’ll release the schema so we can check his work… 🙄
It seems inevitable that we’d have some duplicates by now… with 330 million people alive in the US today, and SSNs starting out in 1936, there’s no way everyone could have a unique number; especially with the consideration of the first 3 digits of the code correlating to place of residence at time of requesting a SSN.
With the way things are going, let’s say there will be lots of people checking out a lot more than just the database schema…
