Then there’s the massive amounts of heavy metals that get deposited in the upper atmosphere when the satellite datacenters ultimately reenter and burn up. Good bye ozone layer.
If I recall, his rationalization was that a particular company was backordered on parts to build natural gas generators until 2030… So naturally it’s so much easier to get to hundreds of starship launches a month and all the attendant solar and radiators and crap…
That’s another Elon BS special. Dissapating heat in space is very difficult because you can only do it via radiation, which is weak.

Yeah, there’s a lot of stupidity at the concept.
