No more stars is a bit over the top, but even if that was the case, bringing internet to billions more people across the planet is still a fair trade off.
Elon Musk is a douche of the highest order, but the Starlink goal of having internet access everywhere is going to positively effect literally the second half of the global population without internet access to have it. The enlightenment that will provide is going to be monumental.
All that aside, the other benefit is that the cost of getting a satellite into space has plummeted to the point where projects that were considered too expensive in the past are now being reconsidered due to the decimation of pricing required to get into orbit.

You are assuming air superiority which is simply not a guarantee in all AO situations, especially in proxy wars where an arms length doctrine is in place, or early days of any conflict when equipment is not yet in field.

Available for a high price is better than not at all.
Entire schools can get internet who could not do so otherwise.
Again, I believe him to have proven himself a moron many times over.
