SpaceX seems to have entered that innovator's dilemma stage where it's now hard to balance their full launch schedule serving existing contracts with forward progress on major new projects.
These Superheavy/Starship launches are failing in stages that are supposed to have been worked out by now.

HAHAHAHAHAA.
These retards just figured out what POGO is.
They don’t invent shit. They steal commit fraud and lie.
Anyone who works for that Nazi cunt is suspect as fuck. Better not go out in public…
Some vets might want to take a shot at you little TechBro Nazi dick sucks.
TBH they launch so often, I forget until I hear a rumble from the launch
He bought Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter. That's why he can't fix the problems - he never solved any problem.
NASA needs to call @esa.int

SpaceX's last few test flights haven't even tested the new parts and stages they wanted to test: the new heat shield and flaps. They're failing at earlier stages that should have worked.
Maybe Musk should get his head out of the clouds and focus on what’s wrong here.
Also, we went to the moon with the computational equivalent of a digital watch. Nearly 60 years ago.
Maybe master space shuttles before the USS Enterprise.
At $150M a pop, they're not learning much from this kind of failure.
- Tesla's sales and stock are slumping.
- Twitter/X has launched no new features sinc he took over.
- SpaceX new R&D is hitting major headwinds.
Elon is spending his time camping out in random government offices with 20-year-old groypers.
He has a short attention span. Does poorly with routine. Chases the dopamine of new side projects without finishing important existing projects.
All that combined with his ego/skill mismatch and addiction to attention.

Few companies do that well while also innovating. You need a CEO who's done borh. Elon has never.
SpaceX has had nearly 30 Falcon 9 launches THIS YEAR.
Elon Musk has yet to manage a late stage company successfully.
Tesla and SpaceX have have the SAME problem: new product launches flopping while they struggle to grow market share and scale. A classic Clayton Christensen issue.
Every single person who went to college and completed the requirements for a degree should be pissed off Elon simply bought his without putting in the work or effort.
He could just go away.
All three places have or had amazingly talented, smart people who - as far as we know - are consistently stifled in their ability to do their jobs because of Elon.
Add America to that list.
And I am so very, very here for these rapid unscheduled disassemblies.
Conceptually Starship is an everything app where “everything” includes “colonizing Mars” and that seems to be where it’s running into trouble.
*ba-dum-tish*
Atlas V: 18 metric tons to LEO
Falcon Heavy: 63 metric tons to LEO
Heavy is a pretty awesome piece of kit
Inevitable failure.
A Dem President would kill one of Elon's dumb dreams. Now? Eh.
The Starship is a clasic Musk idea, shot from the hip in a meeting, and then stubbornly pursued.
But the overal reason for that isn't just that you're afraid to kill the cash cow, it's that once you get cash cow customers, you have to change how you operate and still have the cash cow fund new products.
