there was consequences/investigations by the FAA

That was a flight test. This was a ground test. Ground testing is not a licensed activity with the FAA, so they have no reason to get involved here. (Per Adrian Beil of NASASpaceflight)

Oh, yeah I guess that makes sense and is a fair point.

But I still doubt SpaceX will receive any consequences for its reckless testing practices.
