It was rumored that even before #SpaceX 's rocket blew up a Facebook, now Metasatellite in 2016, there were signs that #ElonMusk and #MarkZuckerberg weren't best friends. Originally, the Amos-6 satellite's purpose was to provide fast internet access to sub-Saharan Africa. However, an anomaly caused the Falcon 9 rocket, which was supposed to launch the satellite into space, to explode during a test on the launchpad. The incident left Zuckerberg with egg on his face, since he was already in Kenya. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, CEO of then Facebook now Meta expressed his "deep disappointment" over the launch failure. Then, a couple of years later, Musk addressed this publicly, writing that it was his "...fault for being an idiot". Nevertheless, he claimed that he had offered Facebook a free launch to compensate for this.
