@waitworry @JenYetAgain as a colleague said, and probably many others, when he talked about rockets, I thought seems legit, he knows rockets, I don't, when he talked about electric cars, I thought seems legit, he knows electric cars and I don't, when he talked about software development, I vowed to never get in one of his cards or rockets.

I can't believe NASA is working with space x, after this incident.

@Wildheart_Baby @waitworry @JenYetAgain I honestly don't think the Muskrat knows anything really about the companies he owns/manages. Out of all the companies, up until this point, it *seemed* like SpaceX seemed to have reliable products (including the Falcon 9)...😬
@compuguy @Wildheart_Baby @waitworry @JenYetAgain I doubt he does. Not a fan. Why up to this point? SpaceX is the only american company with a human rated vehicle. Their Falcon9 launches are utterly boring and go off without a hitch. Boeing starliner has not been certified nor blue origin AFAIK. SLS finally flew recently after decades. SpaceX is crushing it yet people judge them by Starship which is a prototype and not in production.
@bassplayer @compuguy @Wildheart_Baby @waitworry @[email protected] we judge the irresponsible nature of how this went down, we judge that he ignored people more intelligent than he will ever be when they told him there would be issues, we judge the waste & biblical incompetence of one of the richest men in the world who has pocketed billions of taxpayers cash & set light to it in front of our eyes during a cost of living crisis.
SpaceX didn’t want to blow up its launchpad. It may have done just that.

Videos shared on social media showed debris slamming into a van several hundred feet away and striking the nearby beach and the shoreline as if they were a war zone.
