Starlink isn’t a company. It’s a product of SpaceX. You want to look up the CEO of SpaceX.

Both Wikipedia and various telecom bids / contracts I found listed it as ' Starlink Services, LLC'.

Which is owned by SpaceX, but it appears to be a separate company.

The entity I found in an Oregon bid was registration #4503816 in Deleware.

It is not a separate company in any meaningful sense. The job listings for Starlink all clearly say you are working for spacex and you are granted RSUs in spacex.

“Starlink services” was probably legal prep in case they ever wanted to sell it off if it flopped.

Even filings like this one appear to purjure them then, as they claim the owner of the business at starlink.com is Starlink Services LLC [0]. The FCC petition as a telecom carrier appears to be for Starlink Services LLC [1]. This is in addition to various state bids for service I found to be for the company 'Starlink Services LLC.'

The body of the evidence as far as I can tell suggests Starlink is a separate company even if employees that produce much of its products work for a different company.

Thats not perjury. Having subsidiaries that hold assets is quite common. But those subsidiaries don’t have any employees or normal corporate structure. That’s why I’m saying Starlink Services isn’t a “company”.
