Bad people can do good things. And good people can do bad things.
The technology and drive to get this rate of growth is amazing.
To an even more direct point. Musk bought Starlink just like he bought SpaceX and Tesla. The only things he's had a direct hand is the original X which thankfully got bought up by Ebay, and Twitter/X which he's been actively running into the ground.
A few articles for reference.

yes, he bought it, now the question is how he will ruin it. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my network traffic, Elmo is the type of guy to run Musk-in-the-middle for shits and giggles, even without any other possible incentives.
And before any tls or e2e discussion starts - it's still possible to learn quite a lot if you are sitting on the channel level if you don't run vpn on your gateway constantly.
None of these articles are about his contribution to the technical part of the companies, except Twitter. Maybe I misunderstood what point you were trying to make.
