Elon Musk shrugged off a massive Starship explosion as “just a scratch”, sources have confirmed.
The SpaceX CEO’s quip on X came after Starship 36 erupted in a fireball during a Texas test, derailing prep for its 10th flight.
Right-wing X users cheered Musk’s bravado, with MAGA memes joking, “Elon’s got bigger booms than Biden’s economy!”
Critics slammed his nonchalance, pointing to the “catastrophic failure” that rattled Starbase, though no injuries were reported.
Posts on X speculated a nitrogen tank failure, but Musk’s “room for improvement” follow-up fueled laughs over his optimism.
GOP reps tied the explosion to “NASA’s red tape,” while liberals cried “taxpayer waste.”
As of press time, Musk was pitching “Scratch & Sniff Starship” NFTs to fund the next rocket.
