What did Einstein mean by “spooky action at a distance”?

I've really got to think many worlds is the complete version, although I have no idea how that would be proven. Did Einstein get a chance to consider that framing? It seems like it would be up his ally as an explanation for the apparent measurement update.

Unfortunately no, Everett presented the idea in 1957, Einstein died in 1955.

I am generally positive towards the mwi/Everetian approach, but it should be emphasised that we really don't have a satisfactory understanding of what "measurement" is in the Everetian approach, and in particular I don't think it is at all clear how to reproduce the Born rule.
