From what I've seen they think its like a 50/50 chance of the first starship blowing up, but they are already building the next couple ones, so they are ready for that. They are not just building one rocket, they are building a rocket assembly line and it seems like they have cracked the code on that. Not a chance one explosion will end spaceX, I'm not sure how you could seriously think that if you have been following the development.

Starship explosion could damage/destroy large part of the "starbase" and cause significant damage in Bocca Chica. It will also have terrible impact on the wildlife refuge that's there.
In addition to that Musk's Starlink satellite will cause Kessler Syndrome. Both of these events could not only finish Spacex but will affect space exploration for decades.
