Its obviously too much tension.
If the wheel is more or less straight but some of the spokes are too loose, you'll eventually need a new wheel.
or just Tension the loose spokes a quarter turn or less until snug and don't worry about it.
Yeah, probably a simple tightening of the loose spokes would've been enough! But, it's a learning experience.
The spoke is fine, it's not broken, Just that it broke out of the hook on the axle and that seems to be more difficult to fix.
