It’s a selective piece of information. It’s like saying “you shit every day”, which is most likely technically correct, but still implies something unnaturally bad. Accidents do happen at every company, after all, and what matters is the Incidents per Million Hours Worked.
Sure accidents happen, but banning safety protocols is a whole level of insanity unto itself. Did you see the part were he also had all the backup beepers disabled on heavy machinery because they frightened him? I mean what’s next, is he going to start sending astronauts into space without space suits because the sound of the respirators is scary? Hey it’s just unnecessary safety equipment, all that matters is Musk gets his name in the news.
Personally I expect such a high tech company in a rich country to have a high enough standard that people do not die there. I also expect accidents that lead to amputation to get reported as they happen.
SpaceX does not seem like a large enough company to write deaths off like that.
