MSNBC Anchors Relish the News of Elon Musk’s Rocket Exploding, Start Laughing and Singing

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Kiss me. Goodbye. I’m defying gravity. And you can’t pull me down. Well.
>> Elphaba may.
>> Be defying.
>> Gravity.
>> But.
>> You know who isn’t? Elon Musk on Thursday, a spacex.
>> Starship rocket.
>> Exploded just minutes into its test flight. The FAA.
>> Temporarily stopped air traffic.
>> Around.
>> Miami.
>> Fort Lauderdale, west. Palm Beach and orlando.
>> It is the second consecutive starship test flight. From Elon Musk’s company to end with destruction.
>> All I could think about was, oh, I can’t think.
>> No.
>> Please don’t. oh.
>> That’s good, that’s good. We got it. We understand how painful that was for you all.
>> Out there.
>> Just as watching these things blow up.
>> This is.
>> Where. You tell us that you starred as glinda in your.
>> Yeah, you bet. Production of wicked.
>> No, no, no, but I’ve done a number of shows. But anyway.
>> Why did they let him put this rocket up in the air after they had. They were still investigating the last explosion. Well, so this.
>> This is the thing. Okay. Yeah, that and that’s probably why it exploded. But the thing the thing to keep in mind is I my suggestion for Elon, his his response to all of this was rockets are hard. And Mr. Musk, if they’re so hard, why don’t you go back to your day job and work that out and leave those of us who do government to do government, because you can’t do both. And clearly you’re failing right now at both. Your rockets are blowing up and the government’s blowing up. So I suggest you concentrate on the one thing you think you know more about, and do that and leave the rest. To those of us who know a little bit of how to provide services to people who need them and make the government function, not to say that it can’t be changed. Yeah, there are changes that need to be made in government, just like there may be some changes you need to do with your rocket program. So the ish don’t blow up every time it goes up in the sky, because that’s billions of dollars wasted too. I think there should be a federal investigation. I think doe should take a close look at how those dollars are being spent right now, because clearly we’re not getting our money’s worth. So just a thought.
>> There’s a ground.
>> Stop because rockets are hard.
>> To Michael.
>> So is government.
>> Alicia. There was a ground stop like, yes, perhaps Mr. Musk needs to take a tougher a tougher tact and look at what his quote unquote real job is because this rocket blowing up affected airports and Fort Lauderdale and Miami, there was ground. For jurisdictions.
>> Ground stop. And that cost money. All right.
>> So did you guys see the tweet from representative Jasmine Crockett about this?
>> Oh yes. Oh yes. Please put it up.
>> Is it the guy that keeps blowing stuff up literally and figuratively, is firing people claiming that they are failures? We know his.
>> Failures have nothing to.
>> Do with.
>> DEI because he doesn’t believe.
>> In it, but he’d.
>> Possibly be succeeding right.
>> Now if he did.
>> You see, clearly there’s a lot. Of unqualified.
>> People running this thing.
>> Well, there you go. Like I said back.
>> To simone’s metaphor.
>> Remember the theme?
>> We couldn’t figure it out. The thermostat, the.
>> Thermometer, the thermometer.
>> Wanted to be.
>> This is also a perfect metaphor, right?
>> For the fact.
>> That he is.
>> Just doing things that he can’t quite figure.
>> Out how to do.
>> And meanwhile it is real people.
>> Who are suffering the consequences.
>> All those people. Whose claims were circling the skies, waiting.
>> To land, who could not.
>> Land because.
>> He can’t figure.
>> Out.
>> His.
>> Rocket business.
>> Come on now, this is not a Tesla factory. This is the United States government.
>> Well, we’ve seen we’ve seen the teslas on fire, too.
>> So. Well, we have actually. I think this is the this is the plan maybe to tear it all up.
