This is an egregiously bad clickbait headline that implies SpaceX is building something nefarious. This is for a planned end-of-life deorbit in several years and technically it is not the craft that will destroy it (that's the reentry's job), it's to do the deorbit in a controlled way.

Yeah we shouldn't give attention to this kind of press.

Thanks for the warning. I assumed it would be de-orbiting but still, a very bad headline prone to lead people into believing in something that's not going to happen.
