Yes,

In the meantime:

edit:
Elon confirmed the center core landing failed catastrophically due to a propellant deficit engine ignition failure on the landing burn. The droneship took some damage too (if I heard correctly, audio was bad for the initial statement).

edit #2:
Better audio quality quote than the initial statement re: the core's fate in response to a question from Bill Harwood from CBS (bless him): https://youtu.be/sytrrdOPYzA?t=17m13s

We hit the water at about .. 300 mph .. roughly 500 km/h .. heheh, so that's hard.
Um, and.. about a hundred meters away from the ship.
Which was enough to take out two [of the ship's] thrusters and shower the deck with shrapnel ..heheheh.

SpaceX has uploaded the Falcon Heavy test flight to YouTube, this time with both boosters' camera feeds --spectacular!

The final rocket burn of the SpaceX craft carrying Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster into the cosmos pushed the billionaire's flash jalopy much further than anticipated. It's now heading out toward the Solar System's asteroid belt rather than swinging close by Mars.

Excellent! [twangin' guitars]

Meet the new ICBM, about the same as the old ICBM.

And that Flat Earther guy flew in his rocket for the first time!

Exciting!



Edit: no, really, SpaceX levels of excitement. Was surprised myself
