Yes, it had bad consequences, but it's as I said, a highly experimental prototype, it exploding was certainly undesired, but also certainly not unexpected.
Man, if only there were something all those smart people at SpaceX could do to make rockets exploding be an unexpected thing... oh well, back to brute forcing their way to a solution I guess
Just wait until he gets that team of cracker-jack 20-somethings from DOGE to wield their towering intellect for the good of Spacex. We're gonna travel to new galaxies 🥴
Or maybe he'll just blow up a lot of launchpads and rockets and make some excuses. Maybe even blame Ukraine and transgenders somehow. Who knows?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it wouldn't endanger people they might as well start sabotaging musk (if they aren't already)
