This is such low-effort muckraking in an effort to criticize anything and everything Musk. Instead of celebrating the massive engineering achievement of Starship, I read article after article everyday about how the launch blew over an anthill and the world is irreparably worse off for it.

I thought the article was pretty tame. More on the side of exageration to grab eyeballs than a hit piece.

I didn’t view it that way—they’re reporting on an event that spurred an FAA investigation. I’d hardly call that muckraking.

It's not really a criticism to note the launchpad is completely destroyed. That's an event that happened.
