Because Starlink monopoly would be the only good reason I can think of.

China has 5 companies launching sats creating a similar network. That starlink monopoly is maybe for 1-2 more years. Russia is already launching a similar network for the military, I think about 1-2 months out for military use.

Most (85%) of their valuation is in AI and data centers in space. https://youtu.be/FPIGu0anfAE

Nope, Starlink and space related activities is only a tiny percentage of their valuation (around 7%). Most of their valuation comes from their future AI activities.
