As my colleague pointed out, that's more than the current launch rate for the world (245 launches so far this year according to https://orbitalradar.com/satellite-launch-log), from a single site that was sold to the public as a testing and development site.

Musk needs this scale of launch capacity if he is to continue to profit from both sides of a war.

He & his investors take payoffs from both Russia & Trump's oligarchs.

On a whim, Musk can prolong any war just by squeezing Starlink bandwidth at the behest of the highest bidder.
