SpaceX, and CEO Elon Musk, immediately declared the mission a success since the incredibly low bar of not blowing up on the pad had been surpassed. NASA administrator Bill Nelson Tweeted approvingly, and several bloggers declared the mission a successful first try, yielding great data.

I’m not a rocket scientist, so I’ll save the commentary on the value of iterative development for others.

But the immediate claims of “MISSION SUCCESS” rang hollow nearly immediately as it was abundantly clear that not all was well on the ground.

he is referring to how the company has almost gone bankrupt several if not many times. even Musk himself has disclosed as much - after the fact, of course.

The data comes from Tesla, not from third party investigators. The minimal data from third parties, like Consumer Reports, says it's shit outside of highway use (which is the safest kind of road to travel on already).
