Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.
Subpoena the ground stations if that was true?
Oh yeah it's totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn't hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.
But I do believe that Musk believes it's a get out of jail free card.
I mean a data center barge or one in Antarctica would do much the same and be wildly cheaper and (relatively) more practical.
