SpaceX said in a statement that the Starship experienced what it called "a rapid unscheduled disassembly."

FAA reported Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport both had departure delays of about 45 minutes, with the cause listed as "space launch debris."

"Jesus!"

Sure. I still hope he explodes.

That is not good.


That is not what they wanted to see.


That is very unfortunate.

I mean, the money is nothing to his fortune, but still, LOL

It certainly hurts his goal of dying with the most money possible

And the response from actual scientist
'He's really so stupid and I can't stand it. if you warmed up mars and melted the water, the water would evaporate into space. Mars can't have a habitable atmosphere in its current state bc it has no magnetic field. solar winds strip away everything that isn't stuck to the surface.'
'Terraforming mars is a project he's been obsessed with for years and he knows literally nothing about it. the magnetosphere problem is very basic stuff.'

I'm no scientist and even I knew that just from basic reading about Mars, I can't count how many times I've seen him in interviews claiming this BS and every time I've screamed at the interviewers for not bringing this up, you would think people like Bill Maher or Joe Rogan would do a little homework and challenge him on it.

LOL. That's not how this works. Elon doesn't go to media that questions him.The second he saw a clip of him being mocked by John Stewart he bailed on the interview. "John not nice. John not fair and balanced. John sucks."

People in the Tesla Cybertruck Owners group are writing to their congressman asking for 'attacks' on Tesla owners to be classified as hate crimes:

I like the part where they are upset.

[missdpuck]

I hope he goes back on Rogan or wherever and has a total meltdown about his hurt feelings. And I hope the orange one does something else while live hahaha.

https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/l...ut-hate-crimes

The term "hate" can be misleading. When used in a hate crime law, the word "hate" does not mean rage, anger, or general dislike. In this context “hate” means bias against people or groups with specific characteristics that are defined by the law.

At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of the victim’s perceived or actual race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.

Most state hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of race, color, and religion; many also include crimes committed on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability.

I don’t think Tesla Owner or Elon Simp is a bias category.

Tesla defrauding Canada’s EV Rebate program?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Well that’s not suspicious at all come on. It’s not like it happened right before the government paused the federal rebate program. Oh it did? OK maybe it’s a little suspicious.

Over a three-day period, Tesla reported selling 8,600 vehicles at four locations across the country, resulting in $43 million in government rebates.

One Tesla location in Toronto reported more than 1,200 sales on January 11 alone, accounting for $4 million in rebates.

If Musk's companies are really good at one thing, it's benefiting from government money.

It's essentially how he gained his massive wealth.

Aren’t they the ones to be in charge of aircraft control?

Yes, yes they are. What could go wrong?

"Imagine being an hour and a half into your flight to Punta Cana and having to turn around because Elon's rocket blew up and you were this close to it happening."
