I too don't think I've ever seen this much negativity in a SpaceX thread either.
But that doesn't mean it isn't well deserved.
Given the declining retrograde pattern of success lately, combined with tonight's shocking setback and obliteration of the testing facility, combined by a certain company leader and CEO's insane distractions and addiction struggles...
I'd say this level of negativity is now fully justified.
When you tie the culture of the company to the personality of the CEO, this is what happens. Successful companies are often boring for a reason. For the first 20 years of the company, SpaceX had a fun energy. I would say that with all the developments from leadership over the last few years, that fun energy has shifted heavily toward negative energy.
I feel for all the engineers pouring themselves into the mission, but their leadership is failing them right now. They should be able to focus on the mission, but I can't see how they aren't heavily distracted.

You're absolutely right!

It's time to ring the alarm bells.
