I see two meanings: 1. He's protesting DOGE's reignition of the SSA codebase overhaul 2. He's making a joke that you don't dare touch a running legacy system because you'll break it
He probably means the second, but the first was my initial thought (I hear COBOL programmers make upwards of $1000/hr). Fixing these old systems has been on my mind.
That’s me in the photo. I don’t trust the guy behind recalled Cybertrucks and exploding rockets to oversee a total rewrite of a functioning, mission critical system.
These guys just wiped 14,000 tapes to put the government's backups and record keeping in the cloud. To "save" $1m. And bragged about it.
They aren't competent, they are malicious. Musk scraped some racist blackhat Kiwifarms posters together and is their leader in a putsch with the goal of systematically destroying the United States government.
The fact that you couldn't fathom people are opposed to his machinations suggests to me you exist within a heavily-manipulated and controlled media environment. These guys are literally white supremacist fascists plunging the global economy into depression, disappearing the populace into foreign death camps, and arming up for WW3. This is not an exaggeration.

Thanks for correcting me. Didn't realize people held that opinion.

Given the context he means the first.
Why not 1 because 2?
Not a sign I ever expected to see. I heartily endorse the sentiment, though.

This is a very strong claim. Do you have citations for it? (I mean for SSA, not an unrelated system that happens to be written in the same language)
