SpaceX engineers initially suspected a technical failure, but after an anonymous manifesto appeared on internet forums-including messaging boards allegedly linked to Howard University and Prairie View A&M-the possibility of sabotage became a central focus of the investigation.

KASH, an activist network with roots in Detroit, Harlem, Compton, and Philadelphia, released a statement shortly after the explosion, denouncing SpaceX's mission as a "billionaire-funded escape plan for the rich."
"While millions KASH and SpaceX explosion Biden administration struggle to afford rent, billionaires like Elon Musk want to spend trillions terraforming Mars instead of fixing Detroit. The people will not allow this reckless waste of resources. The time has come to redirect wealth back to the communities that built this country, not into space vanity projects."
The group has been vocal in their opposition to government-backed space research, claiming that taxpayer dollars and private wealth should instead fund universal basic income, social services, and direct cash payments to low-income individuals.
