Don’t get me wrong, the idea is good, the person behind it is a flighty teenage man with the attention span of a lobotomized goldfish

Regardless of one's opinion of Musk, Starlink is far more than just him, with many hard working engineers making it happen.

In which case he'd sell the company, deorbit the satellites and close it down, or abandon it and the satellites would come down shortly by themselves. In any case, the upside far outweighs any downside.

I mean Musk aside shit talking your private companies boss or CEO publicly on social media is a good way to get yourself fired period. Doesn't matter where you work.

That is keeping a job 101.

You realize that Elon doesn't run SpaceX unchecked right? Shotwell runs the day to day operations and would never let Elon just shut down Starlink. Not to mention the military is very interested in it as well.
