"Yeah, it just means that up until now, the chance of any astronaut crew surviving any trip anywhere is 0%. But hey, if some of the next tests don't end in an explosion, this maybe can be improved to 50/50 chance of death. Yeah, astronauts will buy that. After all, people also still buy Telsa's "Full Self Killing"."

Uh, this is very unfair to SpaceX as a whole, which has had 0 fatalities so far on the ground and in the sky, after almost quarter of century of operation. This is a remarkably good record for spaceflight.

Contrast it to the Apollo project, which killed three astronauts even before the first flight (Grissom, White and Chaffee burnt to death during testing on land) and almost killed another three during mission 13.

Contrast it to the space shuttle with its 14 victims, and the first flight of the space shuttle was touch and go as well.

Contrast it to Boeing whose recent Starliner proved so problematic that they did not dare fly the astronauts back to Earth using the same ship and made them wait for a Dragon.

Contrast it to Scaled Composites, which never reached orbit, but three engineers were killed on the ground and one test pilot during a suborbital test flight.

Insinuating that SpaceX is a killing machine is absurd, when you look at their actual safety record and compare it to their competitors.
