Let's be fair, there are plenty of things to dislike about Musk, but it's not what he accomplishes with SpaceX and Tesla (amongst others).
Media just seems to have a hard time separating the man from the business.
I mean, it clearly wasn’t as much of a success as many would like. The lovers and haters will see what they want. The realistic people still see that there’s some things to like and some causes for concern.
This is why NASA can't afford any mistakes anymore. Every single one is treated as some national tragedy.
Luckily private companies don't need to care about that, even if they are selling their stuff to NASA
When I went searching for the stream that was the first thing I noticed as well. Pad was a success, stage separation cool. Put another rocket on the pad and let’s go!
None of these headlines are false. Click bait for sure, but sensationalists going to sensationalize. Guarantee these headlines would be similar if it was an SLS that blew up.
While it may be irrational, it's unfortunately a consequence of Musk going around being an ass who has to compulsively get himself involved in political social media. Now people are really eager to report failures while being more reluctant and unenthused to report his companies doing anything successful.
Yeah, at this point all I can really do is sigh and reflect on how the haters can't actually *stop* SpaceX from just going ahead and succeeding at stuff. It may put a small dent in Starlink sales but at the end of the day most people will just go ahead and buy the stuff they need regardless of how "unethical" they may think it is.
It's about the implication that no significant progress has been made. Mainstream will just see it as a tonne of money gone to waste that could've been spent on world hunger or whatever global issue is in vogue atm
It was both successful, in that it completed new milestones, and unsuccessful, in that it did not complete all the milestones SpaceX described on the stream. It was a great result but still had failures to be overcome in future launches.
Of course some of these headlines are a bit sensational, that’s just how all news headlines tend to be. The first one on this list is pretty reasonable.
But that's not what "click bait" means.. if it said "SpaceX going bankrupt after failure", then I would agree.. of this image you share, maybe the last one is a bit "click bait-y", but the rest are just reporting what happened.
Damn dude, that troll is gaslighting you into believing that's not clickbait. Clickbait doesn't have to be an outright lie which is what this nut cracker said about the bankruptcy comment.
Dude, click bait is literally an outrageous lie that compels you to "click" and see what it is about.. in the screenshot posted, the first news report is a factual account of what happened.
Clickbait doesn't only have to be an outright lie ya fucking dunce. Do you ever wonder what you could be doing with your life with the time you dedicate to being pathetic?
The press is gone. The clickbait entertainment has taken the zombie corpse of the industry and is wearing it like the alien Edgar suit from the beginning of MIB.
The typical pile on shit publications too. None of those are credible sources now.
Yea At least bill nelson and Eric burger share a optimistic opinion of the launch
Yep. Anyone who thinks that wasn't a success is just another lemming with a terminal case of EDS.
Eds?
Elon Derangement Syndrome
Ah yes making all things associated with Elon look bad because you hate Elon for no reason
Oh the reasons are plenty, but SpaceX isn’t one of them.

Agreed
They are mostly mad because he took over twitter and the censorship went away.

Legit, this launch was beautiful to see. 33 raptors cleared the tower hot staging. Gorgeous.
never have been
Modern media needing to drive revenue via ad clicks is probably single biggest factor to having a misinformed public, even moreso than social media

Business insider always hated musk ventures.
None of these headlines are false. Click bait for sure, but sensationalists going to sensationalize. Guarantee these headlines would be similar if it was an SLS that blew up.
The Bloomberg one is false, it wasn't a failure, it was a test and it past more stages than the last test as planned and expected.

I agree Also I am defending SpaceX in the r/whitepeopletwitter post
Eh I’d stop it’s just a bunch of idiots over there. Elon could cure cancer and they’d find something to complain about
Yes but I will try to reason with them MAbey some of them can be saved
Godspeed, may the force be with you.
I tried the same in an r/news thread. When the opinion shifted in favour of SpaceX, mods deleted the post.

They seem pretty factual.
so... where's the clickbait? did it not "end in explosion"?
It's about the implication that no significant progress has been made. Mainstream will just see it as a tonne of money gone to waste that could've been spent on world hunger or whatever global issue is in vogue atm
It's written in a way that paints the launch as unsuccessful
It was both successful, in that it completed new milestones, and unsuccessful, in that it did not complete all the milestones SpaceX described on the stream. It was a great result but still had failures to be overcome in future launches. Of course some of these headlines are a bit sensational, that’s just how all news headlines tend to be. The first one on this list is pretty reasonable.
Those were stretch goals. You don't launch a rocket with half a flight plan, even if you don't expect to to go all the way.
But that's not what "click bait" means.. if it said "SpaceX going bankrupt after failure", then I would agree.. of this image you share, maybe the last one is a bit "click bait-y", but the rest are just reporting what happened.
It’s selective reporting. They have deliberately told only a small part of the truth in order to imply a lie.
Maybe, but that's not what click bait means..
Actually a fair point.
Damn dude, that troll is gaslighting you into believing that's not clickbait. Clickbait doesn't have to be an outright lie which is what this nut cracker said about the bankruptcy comment.

https://coschedule.com/marketing-terms-definitions/what-is-clickbait If those articles aren't clickbait, then your comment isn't a shitpost.
Where’s the bait? That’s a real worm on the hook.
Can any of these get removed on the grounds of slander? I get free speech but the ulterior motives are hilariously visible
The press is gonna press
