On Thursday, Elon Musks SpaceX started an unwritten Starship rocket that exploded during a test flight. People throughout Florida and the Caribbean reported the explosion, with many videos circulating on social media.
The “fast unscheduled assembly” (SpaceX’s term for an explosion) occurred only two months after the previous test flight, which also exploded. In both cases, the nearby airports delayed the flights due to the debris.
The successive failures triggered online criticism to Elon, especially since Doge is supposed to be about removing money waste and incompetence from the government. According to Reuters, SpaceX President and Coo Gwynne Shotwell has announced that the company has state contracts of around 22 billion US dollars.
Here is what the Internet says:
1.“Another quick unplanned disassembly of the spaceship. This time over the Bahamas. Perhaps Elon should spend more time with stopping his cars and rockets from blowing up in the air instead of trying to disassemble our government and plunge the economy.”
2.“The explosion of SpaceX ‘spaceship is a good metaphor for Trump’s failed presidency – except that the whole country has to do with the rubble.”
3.“Doge has to go to SpaceX and find out what the hell is wrong. Fire 60-70% of people because every spaceship explodes in flight. At least all the probation settings get rid of.”
Of course, they seem to speak hyperbolic.
4.“Watching SpaceX Starship explode, while the citizens in this country cannot afford health care is so American.”
5.“SpaceX ‘variant misconception about the Bahamas is just another example of the fact that Musk’s defaulting technology falls apart. Time to rethink his unchecked influence and prioritize security from the spectacle.”
6.“If NASA had the error rate for SpaceX, Elon Musk would fire everyone and the congress would like to know where the money is going.”
7.“Remember when Elon Musk attacked our astronauts and claimed that NASA would not have SpaceX accepted the people stranded on the ISS. Yes – I am sure ‘politics’ is the reason why they don’t want to use the SpaceX starship.”
8.“#Presidentmusk had another great day with the money of the taxpayer. Starship #8.”
9.“Lemme gets that clear … Elon Musk’s rockets continue to explode.
10.“Good morning and happy Friday for everyone who is not surprised that Queen Karma caused both Trump’s tariffs and Elons SpaceX rockets on the same damn day. Bada boom.”
11.“#Starship that gets out of control. X is overrun with bots. Elon … get control of your own house before firing further federal employees.”
12.“This seems to be a reasonable point in time to mention that Doge in Elons has wasted ten billion in state funds exactly.
13.“He fills the world with his trash. I hate him so much.”
14.“Elon Musk and SpaceX blow up another rocket that is financed by over 20 US dollars to American taxpayers. It’s a good thing that no life is lost if these missiles hunt. But Musk supervises government fraud, waste and abuse?
15.And finally: “Elon is the largest welfare queen in the world.”
