Ah yes, "a rapid unscheduled disassembly".

That's "it blew the fuck up into a million pieces" to you or me, right?

@HarriettMB Don't worry, after Monday, all billionaires will be exempt from any pollution regulations, so I guess that means not really pollution at all

@HarriettMB @statsguy We don’t need more of Musk’s aluminium, lithium, and copper spread all over the stratosphere.

@statsguy That RUD jargon is just so pointlessly jargonesque. I'd like for an outlet to begin using "rapid unscheduled explosion" instead just to watch the fandom melt down.

@statsguy Not at all - it is "blew the up into a million pieces that we didn't expect".

Totally different.
