He excels at burning hunks of metal at extremely high temperatures. I thought the Cybertruck was the pinnacle but alas.

Getting it out of the way so the engineers can enjoy the long weekend.

What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.

At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.

Progress!

Waiting for the SpaceX bros to tell everyone how this was actually a good thing because it was supposed to happen and means everything is going well.

As long as nobody was harmed they could blow up a hundred rockets for all I care. Maybe it'll even help with competition, like make other companies switch launch vehicles, so it might be a good thing (just not for them) lol
