      The code may be old but the hardware gets updated. I don’t know if they’re using modern tools but the language also gets updated.

      It alll comes down to budget: who wants to spend the money to modernize stuff that still works? Iss Musk willing to invest in that?

      Just in case you didn’t know, the code is old, but the hardware still gets updates. And when it comes to batch transactions and network speed, mainframes still do the job reliably well. Plus, they are not easy to hack, because few understand them, not to mention the decades of security updates.
