  2. With all these launches it is only a matter of time that one if these rockets kills someone and or does some serious damage.

  3. And disrupted flights around multiple American cities. This is why Musk has corruptly asserted control over the FAA— to launch with impunity and avoid any consequences.

    Elon should be forced to pilot each of these missions

  4. So in the last 24 or so hours of Elon’s sad life; he lost a business deal with Carlos Slim worth billions of dollars, Trump took a big dump on him in front of the whole cabinet, and now his starship exploded. It sounds like there won’t be enough ketamine to patch up his ego.

  5. Tesla tanking and now this! Nazi Elon is on a roll towards bankruptcy.

  7. Is this a preview of USA’s fate under Elon’s influence?

  8. Elon Musk has blown up more spaceships in 5 years than NASA has in 60 years.

    Talk about efficency.

  11. >”During Starship’s ascent burn, the vehicle experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly and contact was lost,” SpaceX said in a statement.

    This fancy science talk for “Holy shit why is our space ship is falling apart!?”

  12. Give Leon a few more billion sweet, sweet federal dollars.

  13. Elon Musk raining down 11,000,000 pounds of flaming toxic garbage on the newly-named Gulf of America seems like it’s symbolic of something.

  14. Gee. Up in smoke. All that money. Sounds like he’s going to need to apply for Medicaid.

    Oh wait…..

    Right Repubs?

  15. He should pay a penalty for the pollution he has created. It’s raining chunks of hot metal . The Caribbean is not his personal dumping ground. Hamas can build better rockets than this fool and his cars are rubbish as well. Yes, he has one of those floating around in space somewhere. Does anyone know where it is? He has the brain of a tadpole and he is Trumps right hand man. 2025, what a fucked up year this is going to be.

  17. Having seen his cutting jobs with zero information only to walk it back after I am not exactly surprised it exploded.

    Inept.

  18. This was the eight launch of Starship. The eight launch of Saturn V was also known as Apollo 13.

  19. Didn’t Musk say he was going to “save the astronauts stranded in space by Biden”? I think they’re better off where they are.

  22. This is the guy that has been demanding to be paid to do a rush job to recover astronauts on the ISS when they already have a scheduled pickup, right? Do you want to get on his ship currently?

  24. I hope some people at Space X are practicing Simple Sabotage. Do things wrong on purpose and try not to get caught.

  29. “Rapid unscheduled disassembly” fun way to say it blew

  33. Isn’t that extremely dangerous?? People could die and the article doesn’t even really mention.

  35. Quick send Elon and trump to mars to plant that flag. That rocket looks perfectly ready. Tis but a scratch

  40. What is the law or regulation around this?

    If a piece breaks off and lands on a country, potentially hurting someone, does the company have to pay damages?

  42. Kind of like what he did with Twitter and now the US. Anything that Elon is a part of gets absolutely fucking destroyed.

  43. The spacecraft experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.

    So it exploded and they didn’t want that to happen. The front fell off. That isn’t typical. They want to stress that.

  45. I used to be so excited about Spacex. Now I find myself enjoying their failures…

  47. Not going well for him is it, meanwhile I hope Caribbean nations get to bill him for the mess
