The blow, of course, for Elon Musk was the unsuccessful launch of an experimental Starship rocket from SpaceX 4 minutes after launch, which formed a fireball over the Gulf of Mexico. Although the launch was unsuccessful, SpaceX founder and chairman Elon Musk congratulated his company’s teams after the first launch of Starship and promised another test “in a few months.” “Congratulations to the SpaceX team on this amazing first test flight,” he tweeted. “We learned a lot about the upcoming test run (which will take place) in a few months.” The plan called for the separation of the first part of the rocket from the spacecraft a few minutes after launch, but this did not happen. The rocket began to fall rapidly and exploded four minutes after launch, falling into the bay. After separation, the spacecraft was to continue east and attempt to circumnavigate the world before crashing into the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. Meanwhile, on Twitter, as Musk promised a few weeks ago, many users lost their blue account verification because they chose not to pay $8 a month to keep the blue badge. However, attention was drawn to the fact that some well-known users of the platform kept the blue confirmation badge without paying for the subscription service. Writer Stephen King, actor William Shatner and basketball star LeBron James reportedly kept the blue badge despite not following Twitter Blue. Twitter owner Elon Musk confirmed the news, admitting that he paid for some of the accounts himself.
