Musk declares Starship explosion a ‘great success’, raises Twitter Blue prices – not related at all

SpaceX Starship clearing the launch tower in test flight

BREAKING – SpaceX’s fully stacked Starship exploded shortly after take-off after clearing the tower during today’s highly anticipated test mission. The main object of the mission was to successfully launch and land the Starship, but unfortunately, it ended in flames.

When asked for comment, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk seemed unfazed by the catastrophic failure, stating that it was a “great very expensive success.” He also mentioned that he would be raising the cost of Twitter Blue by 20%, but assured everyone that it had nothing to do with the recent Starship explosion.

Many were left scratching their heads at Musk’s seemingly callous response to the failure of a project that cost millions of dollars to develop and launch. Some speculated that he was simply trying to save face in the wake of a disastrous event, while others pointed out that he had a history of making bizarre comments on social media.

Meanwhile, SpaceX engineers were left to pick up the pieces of the destroyed Starship and try to figure out what went wrong. Some experts speculated that the rocket was simply too ambitious and complex for its own good, while others criticized SpaceX for rushing the project without proper testing and safety protocols in place.

Regardless of the cause, one thing was clear: today’s Starship explosion was a major financial setback for SpaceX but still considered a successful first step in the billionaires desire to colonize Mars.
