It would be sorta stupid to say it crashed when it didn't.
SpaceX said the launch was nominal, and the rocket performed as designed. Whatever happened here, it was likely intentional - the thing is in orbit and there is some sort of purpose for the (easily discoverable) false report, or it was designed for immediate reentry and was not actually a satellite.
