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

I don't know all the ways but my identity was stolen and I never knew until my attorney was looking at something else for me in conjunction with the social security commission where I lived, and it popped up under a different name. They then accessed my records using other information, and it was the same number. It took a long time to get it sorted. A few years.

It's happened twice to me, I'm now 41. I was able to get it resolved both times but it was not easy and in the first case seriously hurt my credit score for seven years.
