On Thursday, SpaceX's second Starship test flight ended in an explosion, which really amused the panelists on MSNBC, leading to a spontaneous burst of singing and laughter. SpaceX founder Elon Musk replied that "rockets are hard," which led Michael Steel to ask Musk why he doesn't go back to his day job "and leave those of us who do government to do government." Who's "us"? Steele claimed that Musk should pick one or the other because he's clearly failing at both launching rockets and rooting waste out of the federal government.

So who does the host turn to for commentary? Why, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the new face of the Democrat Party, who asked on X, "How is it the guy that keeps blowing stuff up literally and figuratively, is firing people claiming that they are failures?!" 

Her post continues:

… 

but he’d possibly be succeeding right now if he did believe. Ya see, clearly there’s a lot of unqualified people running this thing… maybe expand the talent pool or maybe he has them focusing on their 5 things they’ve done over the week instead of the task at hand; you know not having stuff blow up and present a danger to the rest of the country. 

*Side Note: It feels like a conflict that all of a sudden he was able to launch again before the last disaster investigation was concluded. THIS IS WHY ELON NEEDS TO GO!

Steele admits that there are some changes that could be made to the federal government, but we all know they'll never happen is Steele and the other people who know government stay in place.

… those of us who do government to do government, because you can’t do both.”

Again, who are "those of us who do government" and know how to provide services to people who need them? And when was it the government's job to "provide services"?

Steele seems to think he and his MSNBC colleagues know how to "do government" and it should be left to them, as it has been for the past several decades. Steele's right: the country's blowing up … in a good way.
