Elon Boasts of Huge Starship Improvements Immediately Before It Blows Up Spectacularly

While I weep for the wasted tax dollars, I celebrate the failure of Musk; Bittersweet.

In fiscal year 2024, SpaceX secured at least $3.8 billion in U.S. government contracts, with a total of $3.8 billion in contracts awarded across 344 different contracts. This represents a significant increase from 2013 when the company received nearly $600 million in contracts.

Is it failing if you keep getting new work? As usual, Musk only ever fails upwards, regardless of how many of his projects explode.

I agree this doesn't affect him much directly. It's more about it just nice seeing something embarrassing for him.

It was not his failure, it was another sniper.

Starbase is full of them

Task failed successfully. If only private money were burned, but they receive people's money.

“Move nowhere to Texas and blow up things.”

You guys know what X needs right now? A brand new name!

Maybe FireworXs? Cuz it goes up and goes boom?
