What if there is a parallel network set up with totally different servers / backbone with those IP addresses that were borrowed right before Trump left office?
If the current Internet went down and the failover was Starlink you wouldn't have a Facebook or CNN presence on there but there could be servers that have information they would want to share with the public.
Starlink has its own ground stations separate from the "normal internet". I think it could exist on it's own if there was a disruption to our current internet if Musk has his own data centers and servers all using those Pentagon IP addresses. It wouldn't be as huge / redundant as our current Internet with the thousands of undersea cables to supplement satellites, but it would do very well in an emergency situation where all normal internet communication has been disrupted.
Let's say China launches a cyber attack that blinds the US. Starlink as backup could help us to maintain comms and stay in the fight.

Interesting point. Remember that big DOD range of IPs that got moved around or "woke up" a year or so ago.
