Indeed. I’ll dunk on modern day Elon any day but there is two ways of developing flying stuff.
One is doing it mainly in offices and development rigs spending tons of money on engineers and simulators of various types to get your data needed for FAA approval.
The other way is spending tons of money on engineers and test flights to get your FAA data.
One is not inherently better than the other, or more dangerous for that matter. One just happen to be more to be more spectacular and make better headlines. It’s also quite wasteful I guess but the same goes for most of our civilisation…
Airlines / manufacturers have intentionally crashed airplanes (via remote control) in order to recreate crashes and test. It’s just part of the game no matter what.
We should have more oversight on throwing money at an issue internal documents show they knew was a money sink and in fact dumb dumb admitted he was wasting government funding on Rogan. But no no, ride this fascist fuckin idiots dick instead.
It’s rockets. Shit happens.

There is tons of destructive testing in aviation.

With Elon it’s mostly bad shit happening on the taxpayers dime.
I guess we should kill NASA et all 🤷♂️
