Fresh off of his reckless and lawless destruction of Federal jobs and agencies, illegal South African immigrant and fascist skipping dipshit Elon "Kaboom" Musk can rack up another explosive failure: that of his SpaceX Starship, after yesterday's "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of its Starship over the Caribbean. CNBC has the story:
"SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft tumbled and exploded in space on Thursday minutes after lifting off from Texas, dooming an attempt to deploy mock satellites in the second consecutive failure this year for Elon Musk’s Mars rocket program.
Several videos on social media showed fiery debris streaking through the dusk skies near south Florida and the Bahamas after Starship’s breakup in space, which occurred shortly after it began to spin uncontrollably with its engines cutoff, a SpaceX live stream of the mission showed.
The failure comes just over a month after the company’s seventh Starship flight also ended in an explosive failure. The back-to-back mishaps occurred in early mission phases that SpaceX has easily surpassed previously, indicating serious setbacks for a program Musk has sought to speed up this year." (our emphasis)
Looking at earlier failures with his absurd Cybertruck / WankPanzer, Tesla stock tanking, X / Twitter losing 80% of its value, and now this, it's obvious that Musk's reputation for technical, entrepreneurial genius has been vastly overstated. To make matters worse, the tech schmuck has pocketed some $38 billion in taxpayer-funded contracts, loans, and subsidies since 2003. He's still planning to continue feeding at the Federal trough with new contracts, while his DOGEbag operation kills thousands of Federal jobs and programs that impact veterans, public education, consumer financial protection, and aid to sick and hungry people abroad. You can be assured that few, if any, cuts will be made to the selfish and delusional oligarch's pet projects that benefit from Federal largesse.

I'm trying to feel sympathetic to Musk. I was almost there when I remembered that he feels the biggest failure in western civilization is empathy.
