Why couldn’t it connect to star link? Using your logic, nothing is worth creating. So should nobody create anything new? It may be pointless to you, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.
Because it’s incredibly hard to connect to Starlink. People are building their own mini towers to mount dishes above their houses and trees because even a big dust cloud or a strong breeze can mess with the line of sight and position of the dish and break the connection.

Now imagine that but in a tiny phone obscured by your house. Or even outside but moving. It’s not going to happen.

My “logic” is one of the foundational steps in creating a product. Without a reason to exist, it’s not likely to succeed. You might not understand that but Tesla certainly does.
 
What is the incentive for anything? I’m willing to bet anything he doesn’t use android. He’s a creator. He will create his own OS.
What an odd question….there is an incentive to use a widely distributed, secure, supported os over an unknown.

Elon is not the “genius” you make him out to be. Why you think he can be a disrupter in phones and os’s when he does not have background in this is confusing to me.
 
This just sounds like a generic gimmicky Android flagship. I don’t see why you’d buy this over a flagship Samsung, Pixel, or Xiaomi unless you’re just a die-hard Tesla/Musk fanboy.
