Was he on it? If he was this is a complete success.

If he wasn’t.

Better luck next time I guess?

MAYBE if we Cut the FAA and OTHER Regulatory agencies it'll not Explode next Time?

Well at least it was a decent looking explosion?

Waiting for the SpaceX bros to tell everyone how this was actually a good thing because it was supposed to happen and means everything is going well.

Unplanned rapid disassembly?

idk, got to check that "is Musk already dead" tracker community

At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.

Progress!

Getting it out of the way so the engineers can enjoy the long weekend.

He excels at burning hunks of metal at extremely high temperatures. I thought the Cybertruck was the pinnacle but alas.

Thoughts and prayers... lol

As long as nobody was harmed they could blow up a hundred rockets for all I care. Maybe it'll even help with competition, like make other companies switch launch vehicles, so it might be a good thing (just not for them) lol

What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.

People live around there, so harm is definitely being done to the air they breathe and the environment they live in.

If I worked building rockets for him, I'd make sure they didn't lift off too.

People really put the faith of the entire American space program on Elon. It would be funny if it wasn't so stupid.

Musk is going to be PISSED when he finds out there is no bureau of physics he can subsume or destroy from within. I believe one Rush Stockton came to a similar conclusion, if he indeed had time for that conclusion to even form before perishing.

The people living there now are all employees. Basically Musk’s mining town

Elon is stupid, but I'm thinking he's not so stupid as to board one of his own rockets.
