Musk can "free speech" whatever alternate realities he wants on X, but he can't "free speech" away these spectacular failures, ESPECIALLY if he wants SpaceX to "fix" the FAA.
SpaceX is a private business, but his customers include a lot of USA business. However, these rockets as you know are not as yet scheduled for production and it isn't like the old days where they were tested by putting astronauts in them and seeing what happened.

The testing process at SpaceX is fundamentally no different from what you do in your work or what I do in mine; but it is a matter of particular domain and scale.

The object is to test and re-test until the problems have been defeated. You don't see Musk breaking out in sweat over it because he understands this is the nature of iteration to establish statistically reliable launches.

CBS carried an article claiming "Starship breaks apart after launch in second failure in a row".

Reality is every launch this far, 8 I think, has technically been a failure. It is how we learn.

You've made mistakes in your work that you learned from, and I guarantee I have, as well. I doubt that large projects are any easier, although sometimes they make it look like it is.
