I read his point to be something along the lines of 'Hubble is great, I'd love to see it one day.' I guess some people are offended because he suggested spacex might be used to retrieve Hubble instead of letting it become derelict in orbit.

To add more, Spacex's Starship is the only viable option actually, no other company in the world can offer (or even has in plans) a vehicle capable of bringing back tons of payload (Hubble space telescope weights 11 tons). Space Shuttle, which was used to lunch Hubble (and in principle Buran) was the only options capable of doing that in the past.
