There was no effort to cover this up by SpaceX or anyone else. In fact, space fans are actively sharing videos of second stage RUD and subsequent burnup with each other and enjoying the magnificent views. There was a pre defined exclusion zone along the flight path so there was absolutely no danger to the public.

Just because you think Elon is bad doesn’t mean that everything he touches is automatically bad too.

i agree, although the debris definitely left the exclusion zone, as shown by the large number of flights impacted, and spacex setting up a found debris hotline.
