For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

The response is wrong. I remember reading an article that disproved it and explained the actual reason. However I forgot the actual reason.
COBOL doesn't have a date type. And there were "people" in that "list" that weren't just 150 years old, and they varied in ages.
The real answer is that the list that they're saying is people getting social security, isn't the list of people getting paid, just lists of random ages in the database, which ultimately means nothing.
yeah I think they did a report on if it was worth updating the ages and found that there was no point. It would have been a waste of money.
