It can definitely reuse it. The question is how much it would cost! And what needs to be replaced. And my prediction is probably alot. And it's not much different from just building a new booster from scratch. Remember. They need to take it down, transport it to the hangar, then disassemble it, test every single part of it to see what needs to be replaced, order those parts, wait for them to arrive, assemble it, and only then it has been refurbished, after that, they need to take it out, test it, put it back in again, then take it out again at launch put it on a launchpad, and launch it... Alot of steps, every single step is not trivial and is complicated in some way...

To be honest it's only his second launch and it did get progressively better than the last time, but alas as admitted by Musk himself there were more to the second launch that had met the eye. i. e. He had mentioned something wrong happening at t 27 seconds, and also a launchpad needed a minor, yet repair... just after a single launch. That's not normal repairing your launch pad after the first flight, and a huge red flag, which in simple terms means that the cost of launching, would be more than they had originally anticipated it, if you have to do a minor repair after every single launch...
But again, he did show an incredible progress, let's wait for the third launch, then it would be easy to extrapolate, because this time, based on his previous experience, it should be a flawless test launch. If it does turn out to be a flawless launch ( i. e. accomplishing what his second launch was supposed to accomplish) then he is on a good trajectory. And if it fails again... you could basically write it off and guarantee Elon going bankrupt within a few years... So I am excited and can't wait for the third Starship launch.
