Wait a one minute, who owns those space Servers? The same guy who runs starlink? The one who uses that power to threaten to cut access to those who refuse to do his bidding?

Come on, pull the other one, surely it can’t be that something so useful can be used as a tool for Mafia style politics.

As someone extremely sceptical of musk, I do have some hope that competition between spacex and it's Chinese competitors will make space somewhat accessible to hobbyists.
Hobbyist is another name for consumer, so yes, consumer will have access as long as they pay.

Those that can’t pay or are politically undesirables, will be excluded from the global commons of space.

My take is that the great dream of unifying humanity through the internet won’t be helped by having it run in space.
