For those that may have missed it...

Notice there was no planned destruction and the immediate spin of the “rapid, unscheduled disassembly” (literally and figuratively).

Tesla sales/income down 20% apparently. That’s a pity. Maybe Elon can sell seats n his next launch. I know one guy who deserves a seat…..

Keeps cutting prices, including the 6th cut quietly made Tuesday night ahead of their poor ER yesterday… to increase demand (as his core consumer leaves his market).

Always great for the longterm margins and financial viability of a company.

They were probably just getting as much data as they could as to why no separation occured before pushing the destruct button.

That’s the hedging they always do ahead of tests.

A mate of mine works for the ESA as a research analyst and immediately texted me with nothing but laughing emojis when it blew up. Followed with even more quoting the SpaceX tweets.

Everyone knew what Musk was doing and that an explosion was not planned.

But SpaceX will of course now act as if it was all expected and this was a great success. It is what his companies do. The same reason I know on the call after Tesla’s next earnings release he’ll pinky-promise Full Self-Driving in 12 months for the 15th time.

Musk said beforehand it had a 50% chance of reaching orbit at the first try and 80% before end of the year

Hope it was fully comp.

Again, hedging.

It wasn’t meant to blow up, their own release prior to, during, and after confirm that. And Musk himself was visibly unhappy in the control room when it had the “rapid, unscheduled disassembly”.

I personally always love seeing a fascist racist misogynistic man-child troll grifter get his comeuppance for a moronic stunt featuring a vanity project that won’t benefit anyone for at least a century (as he sells his absolutely farcical vision of colonising Mars) and, even if it does finally work, and we somehow find another planet suitable for mass human habitation (and invent a propulsion system that actually allows us to get there), it won’t be us peasants reaping the rewards. All of his projects were never meant to actually benefit people like you or me.

That was an impressive "Rapid Unscheduled Dissasemly"

Bit of a waste of petrol.
