Yeah I agree, as a layperson with the ability to google 5 minutes and have my own priors I can reach the same conclusion.

What I'm saying OTOH is that I have no way to know whether you have some more insightful things to say about this since you just called bullshit without any further details. I hoped you had more details

We agree actually. SpaceX is not doing this for some research project, or for a commercial internet service. It's a military project-- see the Wikipedia link.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I'm just making a meta-point about trying to better qualify one's assertions so that a reader can better judge the information content of the statement.
