Looks like instead they will commit their capacity to AI In Space and a little Starlink (so probably mostly Starlink, even if Elon currently drinks his own Cool-Aid).
Really drives it home for me how institutionally cucked the US gov is. For this to be as big a deal, no-one must have the slightest concern that the US will claw back or conscript SpaceX capacity for national security. And correctly so.

My guess is they want it all subscriptions (of course). Satellite-as-a-service. GOD forbid you launch your own device you control! Nonono, you can LEASE SPACE on one of their sats they shovel out the door, and you’ll be happy.
