Because he owns SpaceX, that's why.
America could forcefully nationalize SpaceX but I doubt that's going to happen unless Elon is a threat. So far he's not.

You post like it’s the only game in town or somehow NASA is dependent on them. He has a sweetheart deal and the public can only speculate how and why. Either way the government is definitely not relying on his good graces. It’s the other way around.

How is NASA involved here? We are not talking about space exploration, its about Starlink satellites.
